Hourglass


Hourglass

We all have it.
Time.



A life- time.

For some mystery
For some play
Some just don’t care





Moment by moment
Grain by grain of sand
It slips out and
We have just
One.
One life- time.

Last grain and it will be over.
It cannot be put upside down
And start afresh.

Looking at the balance sand
I wonder,
Will I live each grain?
Or
Will it just pass?
