Sands of Time
Disbelieving darkness and frightening final sounds
Relief that the eternal moment may never be found
Mortality’s grip from which we all shelter and hide
uncomfortable as it grows to be below gathering tides
The shower of benevolence strengthens each wave
The ambiguous, gracious cleansing inevitably saves
But the with each moment is one coming to an end
Fearing the moment of death as justly as you pretend
You long for it endlessly as if it’s the final answer
To the question you have no business asking in anger
Quit your pining and drown in that lively becoming kindness
You have no purpose washed up on the beach lifeless

Love it ... so unique

First poem on here after joining I felt worth reading. Glad I did, you have the same type of syntax when writing poetry as myself I think. And, although everyone interprets differently, especially poetry-hence the beauty in the art-that I can relate, or at least relate it to my life experiences. Thank you, great read!
