sand

By Mouse Poet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The night,dark and heavy,weighed upon my brow.The concerns of the eveningwere many,though one stood outabove them all.It was the passingof time.There was nothing I could doto stop it.All my attemptsended in failure,in aggravation,in agony.It just kept slippingthrough my fingers,yet holding me captive.Now as I am aged and tired,I am forced to submit to it's power.I am forced to watchthe grains of sand,slipping through my handsinto nothing.2001, Written November 14th, 2001 © on Nov 14 2001 12:38 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
