Grains of sand
account for my days
dripping like water
through the center of my soul.
Each grain of sand that drops
feels as a brick of gold
landing upon my chest
taking away my breath
Torn between my hearts desire
and that which needs to be
emotions bottled up inside
threaten to burst the hourglass.
Grains of sand pour over my feet
grounding me by the loss of days
days spent within a dream
a dream that seems beyond my reach
