A grain of time.

Time, like grains of sand-

The tighter you grasp

The faster it runs away.

Each single grain

That falls from your hand,

Like time, can never be regained.

 

And time, like a grain of sand

Can be blown away

With the smallest breath.

And the clutching hand

With the precious sand,

Dreads the last grain.
