time slips through
your fingers like
grains of sand

Just like an hour glass ... smile ... great use of Haiku here Deneen. Some times the simplest form says the most!

The funny thing about time is I spent most of my life waiting on a parole date as it ticked by so slow and now I look back and it just flew right by - Great poem Deneen - God Bless

No doubt about it. Time is so fleeting. Enjoy every moment while we can. Another great title, too! Love, Shar

Yes indeed...It is very true and well-known...Times plays between our fingers...and all is ephemeral, except Value:) Thank you for sharing, TYOne, Farah
