The Hourglass of Time
Wave upon wave of melancholic feelings of foreboding
barely seventeen and the world was closing in
She would never get the chance to watch her body aging
because of a genetic aberration that was inherited by next of kin.
While the hourglass of time sifted gently through her fingers,
every fiber of her body beseeched and urged, for one more day;
As the chamber of life emptied
her soul became readied *
Then like a dandelion to the lips
she blew the seeds away,
scattering all her hopes
throughout the living air
It was a sad dispersal
f a young girl's passions, and truth be told
she found this to be, quite unfair.
