*Sand of Life

Have you ever held life in your hand

Wondering what do with it?

Do you softly set it somewhere to let it live

Or throw it away for good?

Do you know what it is like

To feel reality slip away

Like sand through your fingers?

Barely holding on to a few grains

Barely holding on to life

The feeling of no control

Nothing can be done or stopped



My grasp on life is lessening

My strength is waning

As my tears flow

I'm lost and losing

The sand of my life

Is running out

Right though my fingers

Out of my grasp

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just think about it.
