The Hourglass


















Time is running out,
Chances are slipping
Through frantically grasping fingers.
What happens when the sand is gone?
Told to take more,
Do more,
You run in the opposite direction.
Near the end,
Near a time when
The well-worn path
Disappears into the mists.
Feeling helpless,
Unappreciated.
Floating precariously,
Kicking through the current,
Against the current.
Giving up,
Giving in.
Working harder,
Working faster,
Do more,
Do the most.
