Silence

Is the sand

That is sinking slowly down

Clip clop clip clop

The only sounds are footsteps, as they land

On concrete ground

Thump-thump Thump-thump

Goes a heart full of life

But how rapidly can it change?

In a moment of strife

Silence

Is the sand

That is sinking slowly down

Thud

A fall

Upon the concrete ground

Thump thump thump-thump thump

As it skips a beat

Hear no sound

Silence

Is the sand

That is slowly sinking down

Flutter

Fall through reminiscences

Of youth and childhood that tasted so sweet

Thump…

As the heart meets

It’s first, last and only defeat
