City of Sand Castles

From year’s end to year’s end
Freed ghosts and exiled wounds
Intriguing shadows once cast in vain
Stained glass reflections
City of sand castles
In the wake of time
No longer astray
City of sand castles
The abandoned mind
Now breaking away
City of sand castles
Burned-out stars align
Endpoint held at bay
City of sand castles
Drawing down the blind
From year’s end to year’s end
Freed ghosts and exiled wounds
Intriguing shadows once cast in vain
Stained glass reflections
City of sand castles
In the wake of time
No longer astray
City of sand castles
The abandoned mind
Now breaking away
City of sand castles
Burned-out stars align
Endpoint held at bay
City of sand castles
Drawing down the blind
