Where should I!

 


If you build a sand palace on the beach

Where should I build the palace of my life's dream!

This is living like the surging waves,

Where I want to be a still stream and flow!

To see one's name written in the sand and washed away by water,

Where do I want to live forever!

Enjoy the love of this time, Parth;

The sand will flow from the hand!

 

The poem contrasts the fleeting nature of a sand building with the metaphorical palace of one's life dream, encouraging consideration on where to focus efforts and desires for long-term satisfaction. Further, considers the contrast between perpetual change and turbulence in life and the calm and constancy of a life dream. The picture of one's name inscribed in the sand and then washed away by water symbolize the ephemeral nature of human existence and the insignificance of worldly achievements. The poem ends by urging us to enjoy the fleeting moments of love and joy in the present, recognizing the inevitability of time passing away like sand between our fingers. Overall, the poem encourages introspection on life's purpose, the pursuit of lasting fulfillment amidst impermanence, and the significance of embracing the present moment with gratitude and love.
