The Hourglass



And the sand on through the hourglass flows

And the wind down through eternity blows,

And the sun does ride on legends born,

And the sun does set on fables worn,

And the starshine fades unto the night,

And the mountains bow to gale's might,

And the rivers fade to dust once more,

And the sea gives way unto dry shore,

And the thread is birthed at mother's breast

And the scissors fall at Fate's behest,

And Time does dance the eons by,

And the sand flows softly with a sigh.
