The Hourglass' Wand

IMG_20250513_164447.jpg divider curl .webp

The ticking hands
Are like the magician's wand
Stringing every move and thought
You're such a pretty marionette

You would will time to slow down
If you could
But you miss the very point
Of living

Those thin hands may tick and tock
Your rapid breathings
Equalling rushed actions
And ultimately inconvenient choices
And worn out lungs

Yet the moments will flow by
Naturally and unfazed by your wishes
Until you begin to value each one

Count not the seconds or minutes
Let the ticking hands be
For every drop of grain
In the ancient hourglass clock
Is a chance to truly be.
