................................Seeds unfold
..............................as sand drifts
................................through the
..............................neck of glass
.............................stories are told
..............................souls are left
.................................to mourn
.................................while sour
...........................memories keep
..............................hearts cold
.............................beauties in life
................................grow with
................................each dropp
..........................each vessel holds
.........................its portioned sand
.............................nothing will
................................increase
............................the amount
...............................of sand
........................the grains that fall
...........................will not return
........................ into a hand
......................use sand wisely
........................your portion
...........................is running
...............................out.
