Summers Never Seem To Last

Our glass

is half-full as we lie

side by side

upon the sand 

beneath the sky



hourglass

sand falling too fast

let's lay it on 

its side for 

awhile



our glass

has been 

turned on its side

the contents spilled

but it's still half-filled



hourglass

has been 

turned upside-down

and the time is 

running away



our glass

is half-empty

the sand is slipping through 

the spaces in 

our hands



the clouds float by 

across the sky

as the hours fly past

summers they never 

seem to last



hourglass

is half-empty

the sand is slipping through

the spaces in 

our hands
