Time most feverent…
Irreverent in it’s passing…
Cusping it’s hands…
Souls and life emassing.
Giving no quarter…
To man nor beast…
The sun rises…
From the heaven’s East…
Time’s companions…
Are life and death…
Taking and giving…
One man’s breath…
Powerless and powerful…
We are blessed in this life…
By a wondrous Creator…
Who keeps us in His sight…
For He alone…
Controls the sands…
That sift from within…
For He alone…
Controls the lives…
Of beasts and men.
Yes, He alone…
Will turn the orb…
In the twinkling of an eye…
Watching ancient grains of sand…
Slipping sweetly by.
Yes He alone…
Will stay the orb…
When our time has come to pass..
Those ancient grains of sand…
Lying peacefully in the glass.

Well written and truly touching and true. I really liked the ending about the sand and glass.Your poetry always makes me feel like I am reading parts of a story.
I knew I was in for a huge treat the moment your music began and I read the first line of your poem … it truly did bring the sense of peace I needed to begin this day ~ and for that I am very grateful to you.

A very thought provoking piece & the very essence of life, to be sure.
I believe the Spirit had a message for you to share last evening or early this AM….how wonderful for us all, that you are so sensitive to the whisper & obedient to the call!
I'm Blessed to be a grain of sand beside you, Sis..xo
Well done my friend.
