Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Empty As the Hourglass Shatters

hand in hand the news sink in
as their world collapses and scatters
the veil over their head ever so thin
they parade largo in a daze
hollow eyes clouded by spatters
treasuring however many days
loud incessant echoing ring of chime 
undying love to the soul all that matters
across the gritty sands of time
till empty as the hourglass shatters
