Heidi Sands Poet Nonet

Hourglass Lesson

*This is actually a combination of a Nonet and Etheree.  The Nonet is first.  I was just having some fun :)

                                As time passes by, another day
                             The road we travel twists and turns
                                     Winding new discoveries
                                   No need to count minutes
                                       No need for dwelling
                                         Have fun instead
                                                Quality
                                               Savored
                                                  Now
                                                 When
                                               You find
                                             The reason
                                             To live fully
                                        Worries Disappear
                                     Hidden in piles of sand
                                    Moving free with gravity
                               All that an hourglass does tell us
                              Time, if we do choose to look at it
                       Spending versus watching, no more wasting

Bette Bavington November 29, 2019 at 1:49 PM Nice hourglass. Lovely poem. Heidi Sands November 29, 2019 at 2:05 PM Thank you Bette. I am not sure what the design of the hourglass looks like on your end, it is kind of crooked depending on what device I use, lol I appreciate your kind comment. Have a nice day :)

Gershon Wolf November 27, 2019 at 5:23 PM Love the message -- no more wasting Time! -- and love equally the shape you've given it! Cheers, Gershon Heidi Sands November 27, 2019 at 5:52 PM Hi. That is right, no more wasting time. It seems my shape to my poem shows different on my phone since it was put in on the tablet, so it is a bit crooked right now here ...lol. Thank you very much Gershon :)
