Grains of Sand

Grains of Sand

 

There is no sand left in the hourglass

It has fallen and shattered

into a million pieces

just like so many lives

All the seconds of the day

are now scattered among

the grains on the floor

Impossible to pick up

They represent the fragments of the past

Swept into piles of lost hope

and blown away by a deep sigh of regret

Dispersed forever among the ages
