In the shade of Mt Rainier
a last show of vanity
Summer leaves an orange-red
Hemorrhage over White
capped mountains and casts
a shadowed image
Building Sandcastles
in the fallen waves
and the day silently ends
as tides return to the sea
Memories long forgotten
the sands of time bury my casket
tomorrow it all begins again
what is left only memories
as one day in a life ends
and in the morning life begins
and ends as sunset falls into the seas
