There is no certain aspect that makes writing beautiful - the beauty of writing is the writing itself


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
