Grains Of Sand........ by adisa204(m): 9:15am On Aug 23, 2013 |
Time standing , never so still Watching from the top of the hill Ready to pounce when you’re not at all sure Which is the path or which is the door One wrong step and you continue to pay You can’t back track when you go the wrong way No second gone can ever return Tears long ago continue to burn We are slaves to the minute, hour and day Time costs us dearly, we all have to pay To undo mistakes, I wish that I could Paths and doors, to change them I would Time can be cruel, viscous and hard Can leave your heart broken, shattered and scarred Lessons that stay for the rest of your years Time holds to ransom all of one’s tears The grains of sand run much too quick Through the hour glass of our lives another chance we seek The joy, the laughter, the pain and sorrow Mixing, tumbling, flowing freely wishing we could see the morrow Grains of sand long past Brings us a mellow feeling so fast Work, life, sunshine, rain, grace and love All shower us from up above We can only smile, and think to ourselves Even though the sand has roughed us in our shells Now we are polished with a high shine And I know the rest will just be fine |
