Is.It.Time?
By AgentBob
15 September 2007
Just a small poem. I'll let you decide what its about.

My sands of time are fading,
They burn away grain by grain,
All this time,
And yet never a spare moment,
Time slips through my hands,
But yet time was never mine to grasp,
I say I cherish these few moments,
But how could one cherish someting,
When he barely understands the concept.

The sands of time

Bob: It's the same for all of us - all our sands of time are burning too. Time is indeed an artful rogue. Some people have their ashes put into egg timers so that their sands of time last forever. A good idea.
Sup Bob!

Interesting concept. For me, it needed a little more subtlety to give a little more depth to the idea. Quite like: 
yet time was never mine to grasp, 
I wonder if 'time' in this line should be capitalised?

time is like a blanket on my face

Very interesting concept indeed! I don't think many truly understand the concept of time, as time has yet to prove its own existence to uss! LOL 
 
I love the line "But yet time was never mine to grasp". A very good poem and good food for thought!!
