Time In the Sand

Like a leaf floating down the stream... I'm tossed lightly around rocks and others dreams... The sun catches me and colors my skin... As other poets and dreamers ride in my spins... The view changes as life plays with my taken course... And staying on track is a project that can't be forced... Where this journey will end only God can hold in his hand... I will just climb through the hour glass and play in the trickling sand...

Just navigating through and glad came here to read this beautiful write, Michael. Loved life personified as this leaf floating downstream.. and immensely liked the last line. Life is all about experiencing all that He sends our way, challenges and all and yes, playing in the sand too, that would be my favorite part!!
