Hourglass – Damon E. Johnson

By Raja's Insight on October 10, 2017 • ( 1 )

Eyes pressed up against the glass

busy counting each grain of sand

they say all things will come to pass

but more time you can’t demand

Life is definitely for the living

sometimes you have to stop/smell the flowers

every day should be thanksgiving

whether sunny skies or scattered showers

Our internal clock is constantly ticking

with plenty of work still left to be done

the fruits of prosperity are ripe for picking

and are available to everyone

But you can’t be a slave to time

because you will never truly have peace

yet to waste it would be a crime

for your anxiety will only increase

You just have to pray, live, love, and learn

and keep your goals within your reach

and then time will no longer be a concern

because there is plenty of sand on the beach

Excerpt from the book Rhythm In My Blues
