the hourglass
dusk creeps in early now
i'm sitting in near darkness
even though the hour
has not struck five
i've been so busy doing nothing
i didn't notice evening's curtain
falling swift and silent
as a panther on the prowl
now that i think on it
the same has happened
in my larger life
i was so busy doing nothing
when i finally turned around
to view the clock
it was much later
so much later than i knew
so here i am as always in the dark
i cannot recollect
where time has fled
and how i came to be here all alone
the sands run on
i sit bemused and wonder
how i managed to misplace
so many years

A powerful and meaningful message, accompanying this perfectly fitting dark imagery—depicted in the desperate glow of life's eternal flame of hope. Extraordinary work as always, Gina! L/V&F
