When Sands left the hourglass behind

When Sands left the hourglass behind,

A timeless journey took over.

A journey so picturesque that destination didn’t matter.

And for once, in the open space, time didn’t matter!


As destination didn’t matter, directions were many;

Though directions were many, decisions didn’t matter.

For every decision chose a path, without much ado;

And every path so picturesque that destination didn’t matter!


With the hourglass left behind, time too, was history,

Pains of Past were history, and so it didn’t matter!

As a timeless journey began, every moment was ‘present’,

Present, they say is a Gift; So, even future didn’t matter!


On its maiden voyage, every sand particle was elated,

As it left the hourglass behind, the Sands were truly liberated.

For, again the sands were blown by the wind – as untamed as mind…

The Sands gained a new identity, by leaving the hourglass behind!
