Hourglass

I will miss you, always.

Hourglass

 

 

I sat on your porch looking out at your garden as dawn approached

Each flower carried with it a memory...a tear...a smile

I'm sorry I wasn't here to hold your hand as you left

All I ever wanted was to be a star in your eyes

To shine bright for you and over you

Now you are shining over me

Watching me

And

I

Will

Carry on

As you're watching over me

I will shine bright for you down here

We can be stars together in our linked worlds

We will hold hands through our soul's connections

We planted a flower long long ago in each other's hearts

You sit on Heaven's porch watching your garden as dawn approaches.

beautiful tribute...such a sadness, and the shape of the poem is like a teardrop falling and then when hitting the surface, spreading...like the sorrow and regret posed in this heartfelt write.

Thank you so much my dear friend :)

The symbolism of the hourglass is seen easily, but I find the design of the poem's lines in the hourglass shape to be truly unique. It perfectly fits the emotion conveyed in the poem: people running out of time.
