grains of sand fall,

unable to withstand gravity's pull.

falling, falling, through the glass.

each grain signifying a second

of finite time.

infinitely, everlastingly falling

until the earth falls to doom

and the sun explodes.

until then,

ever falling.

heaven's hourglass counts down

to humanity's last grain of sand.
