Hourglass


Time dripping
Like grains of sand
Of life’s hourglass,
Pieces of memories
Blending together,
…From you and me…
****

*
Crimson tears
And broken smiles,
Shards of wounded souls
And shattered spirits,
Softening the edges
In suspended moments

~*~

Healing scars,
…Forgetting the pain…
Together we blend
Loving thoughts
Buried deep inside
The dunes of sand
Washed away by
Frozen tides

~*~

Whispers remembered,
Floating weightlessly
Inside what used to be
You and me,
A person,
Whole

~*~

Sand
dripping
One by one,
As we watch
Mesmerized.
Rebirth of
love and
life from
Black
ashes
