Empty As the Hourglass Shatters

I have gone inner today- I have fallen deep so dark and deep to escape the h o u r g l a s s of time- Sun kisses me and wraps me in warmth that I weep, the sand of life is ticking away- tick t i c k tick And in my trance all is so tranquil and sublime but I feel so E M P T Y and trapped behind glass thick. I MUST break free- and kick until the glass SHATTERS for to waste a m o m e n t of this life is a crime. The sands of time click but living is what MATTERS . . . a b u t t e r f l y drifts on my rosemary and thyme. __________________________ June 8, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/Empty as the Hourglass Shatters Copyright Protected, ID 18-1029-510-01 All Rights Reserved.
