    Sands of My Hour Glass

    Sands of my Hour Glass

     

    You are as the night

    that my heart restfully sleeps,

    that covers my sleep-filled eyes

    of hazel hue,

    longing for one more glimpse

    of life with you

    and the days

    of sparkling wine

    sipped on verdant lawns,

    ‘neath the whispering of Weeping Willow sways

    to the autumn breeze.

     

    You are as the light

    whose radiance warms

    the chill of loneliness from a suffering soul,

    awakening the daydream's dawning

    resplendent view,

    soothsaying visions of a life content.

     

    You are as the rapids

    in the river of my life stream's flow,

    exciting,

    yet dangerous

    to the flow of my heart's yearnings.

     

    You are as time eternal,

    to twilight dawning,

    as the sands of my hour glass

    silently pour.

    sorry to take so long to reply. Thank you for taking the time to read this poem. This is an old one of mine. I wrote it to my wife nearly 10 years ago.
