hourglass

warm and comfortable air is touching my skin

drying the sweat off my body

the sound of fountains is splashing from the poolside

tiny clouds are being pushed over the sky by the rays of the sun

peacefullness, quietness do ease my thoughts

drifting aloof all alone

emptying my head like an hourglass

smoothly and consistently

sometime, somewhere, someone will turn the glass over again

but not now, not here, not today
