My Hourglass by ©Richard Budig Day unto night, night unto day Eternity metes and measures time Marking in its celestial way The anniversary of a nebula Or the birth or death of a great star But my eye cannot see that far Nor do my senses register the event Instead my hourglass takes note Of a notion born in all men That time was in place before clocks And that a reaper counts and stalks So while I'm aware of distant nebulae I'm ever so much more interested In my last few grains of sand And whether they all trickle through Before I've held a loved one's hand |
