Sands

life slips away like sand through my fingers in moments -treasured, feared -of despair   I wonder what to let go what to pick up -put away for eternity -restore or repair   Sky is eternity the framework against which -I build castles in the air   https://dversepoets.com/2020/06/01/quadrille-105-cry-havoc-and-let-slip-the-dogs-of-war/
