The Hourglass - Jeniferever

We were characters in a

Dream.

The reasons to try

Fell around us like rain

We couldn’t tell them

Apart so we watched them

On their way down the

Drain.

Then you wake

A bit older, a second

Chance by your side

And you know a bit

Better than to watch as

Streams and rivers…

One day out of hundreds

A night, a week, history

It did not take more than

That.

It cost you your title

Your home and family

The years you spent on

Building it.

I helped you

Remember what should

Or shouldn’t have been

Remembered

We were characters in a

Dream.

The reasons to try

Fell around us like rain

We couldn’t tell them

Apart so we watched them

On their way down the

Drain.

Then you wake, a

Bit older, a second chance

By your side.

And you

Know a bit better than

To watch as streams and

Rivers pass
