Sand.

I can cry for hours.
The hourglass tells its tale.
The sand slides down through its hold, which it couldn't really make.

Even the strongest couldn't hold
the brown mess, they call the sand is.
Escapes in front of your eyes,
through your firmest fist,
just like a magic of his.

You try to tame it,
May be you'd claim it
but control is beyond you.
Try for it and fool you shall be called, the tales for its madness aren't small.

I remember once, not appreciating the soil my earth bears.
Wasn't a pretty sight my love,
The stories are still heard.

But don't forget one thing my dear,
What lies beneath this escaping little sand.
Heavy and thick the molten takes you, and turns you into ash.
You are nothing once its surfaced,
The tale you heard won't be helpful.
You'd know when the warmth would become wrath.
If you aren't faithful.
