Time incomplete

And time that has passed

Along with time presently flowing

Within the hourglass

Seeing the sand inside

Slowly moving away

And upon noticing this

I can see my reflection 

In the glass

Me looking back at myself

As the time here 

Is steady rolling

Yet seeing time slip away

And also what’s to come

Seeing time continuously 

Moving forward despite

Whether personal tasks 

Or done or not

For time just doesn’t stop

But in here it does

But only inside this hourglass

For as the time stops there

It keeps on going outwardly here

And having witnessed time from sands here

Both began and disappear

As I pick it up and lift it up

And watching as time passes by

Right in the palm of my hand

A literal precursor

For time’s arrival and exit

And as to what could happen next

For the time left in between

As I could observe with and from

A very personal and spatial view

All while watching the sands of time here

Indicate and display

The past, present, and future 

Simultaneously

As I may find

While looking at time

From both sides

Of the hourglass
