The Sands of Time


                                           The Sands of Time

                         The sands of time moves on without respite,
                              whether monarchs or humble vassals 
                                  have to bow at its moving shrine 
                                      it drips on without kindness
                                         without grains of solace
                                          for souls great or small
                                              and does not wait 
                                                    for a while 
                                                         as it
                                                           is 
                                                           a
                                                      precious
                                                    gift of God
                                                bestowed to man  
                                               to apply with thrift 
                                            not to waste it in vain 
                                         as moments frittered away
                                       can never, never be regained
                                   despite all efforts to retrieve them
                                 despite all will to halt its silent march.
