My Hourglass

It’s late at night. I’m alone, as usual, not merely alone . . . lonely, so lonely. A vivid image invades my thoughts-- an hourglass with innumerable grains of sand, nearly all in the bottom. I pray that reminders of aging and mortality, whether subtle or blatant, will not overshadow my desires to pursue long-held goals and new ones. Now I feel at peace; God is not through with me.
