Every Day Since Our Birth

Every day since our birth began
Our journey upon the curve of the earth
We have sifted for things like sand
That through the hour glass of fingers ran
And every day we more meanings
After the pain is gone
And we hope to reaarrange them
Make an exhibition entitled "Dawn"
But all the gallery we have
Is our little space of life
And not enough, not enough
The things we want to hang there
Are more than tears unfolded here.

ZAP! You nailed it! I guess all poets try to nail it, but seldom succeed. "and we hope to rearrange them." this grabs. Super write. Love, daver
