Good morning everyone.

The Hourglass of Life

I'm mesmerized as I watch grains
of sand flow through the glass,
which regulates the pace by which
each minute speck will pass.

The crystals, like the seconds that
turn into month and year,
with time flow on, and then when gone,
forever disappear.

And then I'm shocked to realize
lost time will be no more,
for it cannot retrieve itself,
closed tightly is the door.

And I'm amazed that as it passed,
I was too blind to see
how better time might have been used
with less waste caused by me?

I'm sure that I've missed you, Victoria.

Thank you for posting "The Hourglass of Life".

Isn't it true how time does slip away. I planned to get back here this afternoon but for some reason just didn't make it. (Must have been because I was working in the garage again.)

See you tomorrow.
