Jo Ann Starker Poet Verse

The More I Know

The more I know of nothing,
The less I understand.
The hourglass has flipped over,
We fall like grains of sand.

The gift of life is fleeting,
Knowledge a strange brew.
Our grain of sand oblivious
Of when it will fall through.

I feel the need to question
When taking such a view,
Will someone flip the hourglass
And start it all anew?.
