Hourglass

Hope greets faith with cheer as love transcends grace; Offer to just be present in life's feast; Urge springs a smile here on each lively face; Roar with sure beauty in fancy or beast. Glimpse passing time as space shows up now; Live with bold passion the mission you set; Applaud your own rhymes as reason allows; Succeed with action that risks the odd bet. Sense time and tide hurl a certain charade; Sing when gloomy skies bring unease and pain; Trust your crazy swirl in unsure crusade; You make your own highs when sighs fling complaint. Look deep and you'll see that life soldiers on; Expect now truly to live yet beyond. Leon Enriquez 16 May 2014 Singapore
