sifting

Featured in the August/September issue of Creations Magazine – honored.

sifting

feel your sadness –
but let it slip
through your fingers.
the sorrow will leave,
the memories will remain.
sift through your life
in this way –
keeping the good,
letting go of the pain.
for when you look back
upon your time
on this plane –
you’ll find that the
hourglass sands
that worried you so
have just spilled on through
to fill the
glittering shores
of eternity.
your feet will be back
in the waves
and you’ll wonder
why you ever feared
you were running
out of
time.
