Sands of Time

Watch the hourglass of time
As the sands flow counting the
Seconds of each day

We are the sands that flow
Onward hour to hour
Seeing time as our enemy

We try to hold those sands of time
To keep what we have sought
Holding on to lost and forgotten dreams

Watch the hourglass of time
As it is turned in its season
We cannot stop what will be

We can only live  life second by second

    ‘Sands of Time’ is wonderfully descriptive…in this poem I see my life unfolding as it shall and as it must second by second…I see myself trying to hold on to my ‘lost and forgotten dreams’ but they fade down as the seasons of life change.

    Thank you for this writing Ceol.
