Sands of Time


Departures require courage

And a little bit of ignorance.

A misunderstanding of what you want to accomplish.

The instructions are in a language

You can't understand,

And there are no illustrations.

Dissambeld pieces that make no sense.

Days spent digging in the sand,

Sisyphean sand castles.
