Our Hourglass

dust to dust
as we slip through
our personal
hourglass
of life.

do tears
of strife
sometimes
clog and slow
the flow?

when
ebullient
and light
do we fight
the rate they go?

when we’re
found waiting
from hours grating
upon our patience,
does our dust fall
in rapid crawl
that beats all
with oxymoron?

then
in our autumn
where dust
draws close
and thoughts morose
bring melancholy
exposing folly
in days we spent
how fast they went
when
we weren’t looking.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I really don't mind you giving Sy the credit
for this....and I am pleased that you were
inspired to write this poem, it says
very beautifully what is felt by more than
just one of us here at Passions...

You have said it well... Thanx... Magnus..

As to us all life passes with the winds of time to only be left as a memory for us to cherish or to forget.. Wonderful wording...
