Grains of sand

-
The sand-clock on the mantelpiece,
Constantly flowing grains of sand;
Another second lost to my past,
A vicarious decision for me by that grain,
One more moment beyond my control,
Grain in the bank of memory,
A silent witness I,
As my grains flow;
Hoping for grains yet to flow,
Struggling with the grains already flowed,
Suffocated by grains,
While the grains flow uninterrupted of their own accord...
