Fading Glory
This abandoned shack was not always like this.
In its youth, it was an arrogant, beautiful mansion built on a vast rock.
Sea waves, singing in sweet rhythm danced around it washed its feet, and made it feel like a king.
It never felt that its arrogance was hurting them. It never showed gratitude or mentioned a word of thanks to them, just took them for granted.
It was not known that these submissive, innocent-looking waves could take revenge on it by slowly killing him. Its base was receding, and its grandeur and shine slowly fading away.
Sharing Thoughts 
Dear Indira,
This certainly could be an allegory with the shack representing us and the waters, the cares of life that erode our self confidence. At least that’s how I saw it. 😉 Nice imagery.
Shalom,
Rochelle
