Thankfully This Time

Castles built on sugar cubes
Do not last long
Everything appears strong,
At that weak deceitful moment

Like sugar cubes
And sweet hopeful things similar
Castles, the sweetest of ones are built
In unseen spaces of a mind

Rain
Or droplets of tears
Flow with time
& the castles are washed away

Leaving emptiness
& hopelessness to fill it up

And thankfully this time
No castles were built
Nothing was started
And nothing ended hence

The next day starts
Where yesterday ended

The breeze blows
Pregnant with profound sense of relief
On every expectant face
