Half Hearted

I mill about in mind

Questions of why and when

Grindstones crush kernels of logic

Time and emotion don’t dance together

Illusions make reality 

Only from great depths we see

Ashes bare little resemblance to wood

Time and fate rarely share the same tune

Viewpoints of sand shift

Hourglasses laughing at sundials

We are sandcastles waiting for the tide

Fate and emotion watching the other act
