Hourglass

When negativity senses
vibrations of sand
escaping the hour glass--

it hastens advancement;

Granules become barbs
malformed reminders
puncturing the calender
of its personal agenda;

their swollen restiveness
a relentless testament
of deflated attempts

Artists tumble ahead
despite resistance

Because. . .

Wisdom survives history:
suffering maltreatment
forgoing vengeance
patiently awaiting
that final grain
to drop thru
the pass
delivering Us
from a confined
global wilderness
to a higher purpose
joining words and truth
into a plethora of poetry

Yeah Buddy
