The Cliche Of The Hourglass And Sand Poem by Sarah Elizabeth Clark

The Cliche Of The Hourglass And Sand

Rating: 5.0


We exist in between time,
Like the sand in the hourglass,
Time on all sides.

We do not escape and we do not hide,
Wherever we try to run,
It walls us in.

We are the grains on the bottom.
We are the grains yet to fall.
We are them all.

The sand, the hourglass, infinite time.
We pass by, a mere glimmer,
A speck on the breeze.

There is no end once we begin,
The winds will turn us over,
To fall through time again.

A great poem Sarah! I decided to take a small tiny flack of a granulated particle of time inside the hourglass. I completely found that it really was worth My granual! :)
