What do you think this poem is about?

Sands Of Time!

................................Seeds unfold
..............................as sand drifts
................................through the
..............................neck of glass
.............................stories are told
..............................souls are left
.................................to mourn
.................................while sour
...........................memories keep
..............................hearts cold
.............................beauties in life
................................grow with
................................each dropp
..........................each vessel holds
.........................its portioned sand
.............................nothing will
................................increase
............................the amount
...............................of sand
........................the grains that fall
...........................will not return
........................ into a hand
......................use sand wisely
........................your portion
...........................is running
...............................out.

    the grains of sand like an hour glass, is something that in our lives we pass.
    unlike an hour glass where you can turn it upright, the time we lose
    is gone from sight.
