OUR HOUR GLASS

With our lives we write

But the eraser is time.

As we sift through

The sands of mind.

 Ever moving

Our thoughts:

Grains of sand

We find

Wind blown

Memories.

Diminished 

Lost with time.

Whimsical in its tenor and reflective as it indeed describes the way writing is often like grains of sand with lots of ideas mixing and many falling through the funnel to be lost.

Thanks John And I will feel a loss if you left WC. I so enjoy your powerful writes and your views on mine. You contribute so much to me and others, you just don't know! Stay Please!..:):)

Thank you Andrew. I so miss Frieda whom TTLittle harassed and abused until she closed her account. But I so enjoy the good side of this community and reading so many different works. I just checked and it seems he has at last gone from the site for now. So I will be staying unless the moderators come after me like they did last year when I was fighting off another predator simply by writing poetry about his misdeeds. I had two official warnings sent to me lol

[andrew mitchell]

official warnings what does that mean. please explain. I am the master of sarcasm and insult but I don't want to be banned I love the challenge but I don't want to be banned. I have years of experience in insults lol No match for me ! lol

I love the images of 'writing with our lives' and the 'sifting sands of the mind'. This is a piece of few words, but well-chosen ones that cause the reader to reflect on the passing of his/her own time. Maybe that is why we write, so that we can leave the remnants of our own lives behind as those drains of sand disappear. An inspiring write, Andrew.
