Sift Of Time
~*Marge Tindal*~

Seemingly slow
soft sift-of-sand
catching rhythm
in gentle command
Shifting ... Drifting
drops the grain
Encased gift
of time's remain
Never enough
of either~


~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

the sun for ever in a clear blue sky

I wonder why?
