Hourglass of the Snow

Hourglass of the Snow

By AQ, January 29th 2015

Drop your Hourglass

In the depths of the world

Beneath your shattered heart,

As your foot reaches for the 

Emptiness,

The Fate you chose

On your isolated isle in the 

Ever flowing ocean,

Where ships come and pass 

Without stopping for you.

The blinding Fog is your

Savior

As it draws a veil on the

Shadows surrounding you. 

In the dark light of one's own soul,

Open your hand and 

Hear

The glass

Shatter,

As grains of golden sand spread on the ever falling ground. 

You expected a smile on your face,

But the

Wind 

Blows away the thick layer suffocating your sight. 

Black fades into grey,

And the falling snow,

Brought by the breeze, 

Will fill the emptiness beneath your feet.

You will step on the ground again

As the grains of sand will gather inside the

Hourglass, 

Recovering from its broken parts.
