The Hourglass that Hold's You Captive..


Sands of time flying past
The hour glass it is nearly empty



Grains of sand, sparkling, as light fade's ...
Shimmering, shinning as gold, as crystal so bright



Seconds become hours, time it is running away
Today is faint, today is but a vapor...


Soon time for us will be done,
Faded away, are dreams that once were


The hour glass will soon turn...
Another will see opportunities,



Another will see the beginning of our end
Soon to be the remains of their end-



Life and time,
There is no true end,



For when the sands run out, another runs to stand in our place,
Taking our place,



As we fall into the place where we will live eternally
Living in brilliance seeing the inside of the golden grains of sand,



Or perhaps living in darkness, seeing only in our memory times wasted. ..
Time for those in darkness will be no more,



Time for those in darkness will be lived it is true, but for them there will be no time...
Time is it for you just begun? Or is it for you the end?



Time for those abiding in the light, will never truly end.
Heartbreaks will be forgotten, tears will be dried...



Healing balm will be applied, life will have just begun.
Time cannot contain all that is life,



Time is the limits created to contain things too hard for man to comprehend,
The hour glass is turning; soon our time will be finished.



The next hour will be our greatest hour, if we are walking in the light.
The next hour it may be our greatest fright never ending, if we abide in darkness too long...



Grains of sand move so swiftly as we sit and stare at all that shines,
Sands of gold, sands of crystal glass walls all around



Time soon for you it may be no more,
Confined to time your days are slipping by...



One day you'll be released, flying away to joy or perhaps it will be to darkness untold-
The choice it is yours my friend,



Stop and think how many grains of sands your house holds...
Too soon, too soon, will you cry, will you die?



  Have you with clarity sealed your future?
