Hourglass
I held a dream in my pocket, tucked in for safe-keeping.
Lest a vile wind disturb it - and take it from me.
I took it out to show you, and it dissolved before me.
And fell ... like the sands of time.
To flow
no
more.
Look
Though!
See as it swirls, drifts.
And begins to recombine on itself
Further proof, that with determination
and the will to succeed, a dream can never be destroyed fully
Lest a vile wind disturb it - and take it from me.
I took it out to show you, and it dissolved before me.
And fell ... like the sands of time.
To flow
no
more.
Look
Though!
See as it swirls, drifts.
And begins to recombine on itself
Further proof, that with determination
and the will to succeed, a dream can never be destroyed fully
