Empty As the Hourglass Shatters
The sand is slowly passing through...
the seconds, minutes, hours of time.
Now precious grains show less to view,
for time is scarce and slowing down
to sandy streams that flow sometime...
begin, then stop, resume, shutdown.
No chance to flip for a new start,
for the last grain will sound the chime
as shattered hourglass falls apart...
along with hearts...at death's 'showtime'.
