Hourglass

4 0 0
                                    

Eyes whisper

And mouths listen

Ears watch

And hands glisten


Tall, impossibly tall

They stand

A figure cloaked in black

Static sounds whenever it shifts

Flying across the land


Bathed in shadow

Crossing seas

Plants rustle

Where there is no breeze


Eyes of crystal white

They sing

A lonely song

Of what will be


Tall, impossibly tall

They stand

Figures cloaked in black

Time is running out for all

In this hourglass of sand
