Timer

Naked to the bone 
To the earth we fall 
Grains falling through time 
Like quick sand a vacuum 

Each one of us a grain 
Becoming one 
with the earth 
Leaving our footprint 

Through sandstorms blindly 
Searching the deepest depths 
An ocean of life 
Walking over  sands 
Leaving an impression 

a footprint 
Left in the sands of time 
Creating this sandcastle 
Each grain
the building block 

Blown away in time 
In memory of life 
A grain 
of thought
