An Hourglass of Sand

In the space of time which we can’t understand
    a lifetime                                       is lived 
             and                                    memories 
         made in                                an hourglass 
            of sand                            though we 
          know that                         it is so
                 how it                      passes 
            baffles me                  in a day, 
                     a year              is spent
                      seems           perception 
                 is the key            Harnessed, 
                 we know              it can’t be
             nor can it                   be bought
            Even too                       much  
        pondering                           makes it
   overwrought                              what then, 
      do we do                                  with time
     with this                                     hourglass 
     of sand                                         live and
  love,  appreciate, that’s not hard to understand
