The Inevitable Decline

The inevitable decline of

Hopes and dreams comes

Despite stubborn clinging as

The sands slip slowly 

one by two by three

The inevitable rise of peace and calm

Resulting from this

A fair trade one surmises

Granted from the vantage

Given as

Vigour declines wisdom arises

As the sands slip and drip

Slowly down

The inevitable decline of all things

Hourglass remorseless

As the sands slip and drip

Granted from the vantage of

Hind sight and one

Un young
