Waiting Time

 

Counting

falling

grains of sand

Watching

each one land

 

Sands

in an hour glass...

counting time

as it does pass

Coming from the same

sands as on the shore…

filtering slowly

and steadily

...forevermore

the very same pace

in peace as in war

 

I have watched

from my shore

...here feeling so lowly

and I know that a soldiers time

must have seemed to pass

much more slowly

but never as slow as was mine
