Hourglass
I am an hourglass
Divided in two
Scattered, Bruised
Always rotating through
I am an hourglass
Sealed by craft
Conflicted, unbalanced
Battered by influence
I am an hourglass
Filled with sand
Colored, stained
Changed by the flip of a hand
I am an hourglass
Affected by gravity
Rotated, turned
Faced with reality
I am an hourglass
Warped by time
Chipped, dented
Streaming in a steady line
I am an hourglass
Crushed by weight
Fragile, delicate
Time won't wait
I am an hourglass
Seen by you
Flowing, building
More than a simple view
I am an hourglass
Time won't last
Cracking, breaking
My end is coming fast
I am an hourglass
Impacted by you
Waiting, tilting
Sand falling through
I am an hourglass
In need of you
Filling, dropping
Helping me go through
I am an hourglass
Sand is my ocean
Surging, crashing
But air is my land
