For Brian Strand's Contest No1235  New Poem Only

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on the hour glass track within time I did stroll for long while on the sea shore alone along beach calm lapped by the waves that rush from the domain cobalt these crush with pearls of foam string spreading on the glistening sands of time that engraves my footprints I have left walking the present embedded now in the realm of the past where they can no longer walk back but can only watch them being washed away by the tides of time into the deep depth of oblivion while I make new frail footprints on the hazy track fading as I am walking the remaining stretch of the last mile unattached
