Hourglass
Hurled through a window pane
Stone broke my hourglass
Sand scattered moments
Lay dormant in broken shards
Was time lost forever,
Or could this be
The day; time stopped dropping
One granule at a time?
Oh broken time machine
Some medieval means
Of turning sand on
An hourly basis
Just a stone throw away
From eternity
My allegorical fresco has met
Its demise
All from a stone hurled in anger
Ring the bells
Raise the main sail
Time has come today
And someone
Has to walk the plank
