The sands of the present trickle slowly
Through the hourglass of time
Becoming memories of days gone by
Lived to the fullest.
Regrets, a few, are pushed aside
To watch the grains gently drift through space
And arrive peacefully at journey's end
When each moment touches the past.
Lingering sands yet to descend
Eagerly await their chance
To plummet to new adventures and happenings
I hope your regrets remain few, Janice. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteSo true ....... challenging wonderland!
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely piece of writing; and what new adventures we are faced with as each day dawns.

Very nice, Janice. Happy birthday! here's My Magpie Tale
ReplyDeleteOh, have I been on this page lately! It is amazing how many sands have descended in my life and how many more will descend! Doesn't Summer's shift to Fall provide us with the nostalgia? Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose sands sift much too fast for me. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely poem-Happy Birthday and every day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I love how you depict the sand at the top of the hour glass as "eagerly awaiting"

ReplyDeleteBeautifully written! I really like "To watch the grains gently drift through space
ReplyDeleteAnd arrive peacefully at journey's end
When each moment touches the past." For some reason it reminds me of my grandmother.
