As I watch the grains of sand flow

I reminisce of days when things were slow

When children remained innocent until they were ready to grow up

How easily imagination flowed through our minds like emptying a cup

Opinions were shared and not used as a weapon to tear others down

Hearing people enjoy your days out in the sun without hearing siren sounds

To be able to look up  and see a group of clouds dance across the sunlit sky

Hear birds chirping away as they ate the left over seeds

Feel the wind violate your body with its gentle touch

These are the things I miss so much

The hourglass keeps its steady pace

This uninvited passenger has decided to stay

Inside of my mind, stripping all that was good forcing it to decay

It made a home where once I found happy solitude

Eating away at my jovial nature, replacing it with a darker mood

Each grain falls, feels like an eternity

Wanting to feel the end, because now, this is me
