Notes About The Poem

Devotion to make things better in a crazy world 

 

 

Hourglass




Hourglass

The sun has become dimmed 
with each step
the pathways seem endless 
He is dazed
even as his mind is fazed
He loafs 
as a floating leaf
romancing the breezy wind
He is immersed in simmering waters
doused with flickering hopes
drums to the echoes of yesterday
dances to the clanging fetters
beckons to the fastened doors
staggers through the mocking maze
He fidgets, longing, 
watching for the hourglass. 




He fidgets, longing, 
watching for the hourglass.
