Time
spin
sand falls
mounds and forms
times short measure long
Measure humanity?
Knowledge our butterfly
turned caterpillar again
buried head
deep in the sand
hour glass sifting
mound to a point
of no return?
I have Higher hopes
but read the signs
mother natures crying
dinosaur size tears
what will be
in another 10 million years?
What's in a number
make it more?
Another species ...
and humans explored?
Was this in school,
the part where I snored?
So who else turns the hour glass?
Waiting for the last
spec of sand to fall
"Who will be the last grain"
time
spin
sand falls
mounds and forms
time measured
Who will be the next to measure,
who'll turn a thought when I'm gone?
Life is short sing a song
be it old new or even the blues
we're not going to live forever
but we must get along together
it is better
saying alot really says very little
when words are a flash in the flames
of a burning sun
a flicker of bright
and then it's gone
eyes wide with surprise
things will come and things will pass
like forgetting to turn the hour glass

sensei

That is the sensei we all know amd love, nice work art, but I agree it could use some division/breaks I'll send the site by e-mail that shows structures and reasoning, breaks and why. This was a nice intellegent poem you have created here. I am not being (picky) it's just that a nice poem deserves an EXTRA touch.

Your Nin :)

hour glass shapes our making...

Wonderful thought provoking and inspiring work Art... your versitile spirit soars.. I would only break it into stanzas when the questions stop and the answers begin.. leave a second there for the power to sink into the mind of the reader..

Loved it..

Du~
