Counting The Grains Of Sand

Counting The Grains Of Sand

1 min
332


My time is nearing, worse its racing 

I sit, and lie down; Its paining 

I need to be strong, but I am crying

It is not over, yet, Just eyes, hoping


Basically, every now and then I am counting,

The grains of sand, of my life, remaining

If I could bring back the clock, tickling

Gradually, one foot of life, lengthening 


I look at the empty pages, remaining

Of my life, untouched and unwritten, lying 

Unused, well, for death I am but obtaining 

My grief, my agony, in my soul, containing 


One, two three, the seconds of life, vanishing

I breath painfully, are my lungs, crumbling?

No, not this way, my effort to live, subsisting

My life is living, is it my end, prevailing


The doctor nods, dissentient, I am, expiring

Everyone goodbye, with my red eyes, closing

To the other world, I am, departing 

My fate, right now, hopelessly, battling


Today, my existence is, erasing

Farewell, in the afterlife, moving

Sorrow, fear of death, annihilating

Blissfully, in elysium, resting
