S ands slip through the hourglass fast

T ime marches on without a pause to last

E ach moment speeds by in a hurry to go

P ast slips into future and leaves us below

H ow quickly our lives and days disappear

E ver moving us closer to endings so near

N ow speeds the present on wings light as air

K eeping appointed with seasons that bear

A way what has been and bringing what's new

S o nothing stands still life's currents flow through

T he tides of existence relentlessly roll

E ach wave breaks upon minutes that toll

R emain here a little longer.

PS: Not good with poetry, but decided to give it a try.
