The hourglass does not turn,
does not tilt, does not spill-
it stands, solid, unshaken,
grounded like a tree with roots
reaching deep into the past,
branches stretching toward a future
you will never touch.
Time does not slip away-
it settles, layer upon layer,
each grain a decision,
a breath you cannot take back.
There is no flipping it over,
no scattering the sand to rewrite the past.
What has fallen is set,
pressed into the earth beneath you,
woven into the roots of who you are.
But here, in the glass neck of now,
the sand is still moving.
This is where you exist,
where you decide-
to build, to break, to become.
The hourglass does not waver,
but you-
you are free to shape the moments before they land.
