Love In An Hourglass

Love in an hourglass Sand scraping sand The grains always falling Getting higher as they land Time a trusted companion Though distance travels true Love the great connector Bridging me to you Gently flows the sand Curving down the glass Reaching to the future While leaving behind the past Falling ever slowly Landing ever light Holding on to memories Changing day to night Time a weary warrior Divided in two parts Feeling always separate Though never in our hearts Some time passes quickly While some time passes slow Before time passes us bye There’s one thing you should know Each grain brings us closer Each day I love you more Regardless of the time away We’ll be better than before Sometimes we may argue And others we may fight Love survives the winters Endures the long cold nights Time brings us healing As spring ushers in the new My love shines unhindered Focused in on you All my time is wasted When we stand apart When we rise together A better life can start I’m sorry for the winters I’m sorry for the time I wasted living without you Before I called you mine My heart is always with you My love is in your hands Always filling up your life Like the grains of sand. _Shaman
