Sands of Time

A millennium of shattered glass.
A charred parchment that held so many clues.
Eroding each memory from the past with the sands of time.
A once barren field sewn by a blazing fire begins to start a new.
Blades of grass dressed in green dress suits.
Flowers topped with multicolored berets.
A woman, once deemed unworthy of maturity, now drenched with knowledge and well seasoned.
A stone basin covered by overgrown brush.
A city full of buildings displaying the fantasy of pioneers.
A young boy skipping rocks and watching golden flecks of sun glimmer across the watery carpet.
A dreamer, now a businessman giving life to newfound purpose.
A fresh pair of cotton formed socks that kept the toes of their former owner warm and comfy find their home on a new pair of feet.
Time.
Flying by our eyes faster than a racing jet and leaving behind fluffed, airy streamlines.
Momentoes crusted with a trench coat of dust.
Time takes hold of everything and whether it be instant beauty or aged perfection, time captures it all.
