"Dropping Sands"

[ledbassest]

“Dropping Sands”

The sands of time come trickling down,

Trickling down to the ground.

A lifeless charge

To those

Who

Deny.

The sands,

the change of time.

The last sands drop down,

Then as they do, you do the same. Drop.

[Queso]

clever! did you write that? i love hourglasses.

[ledbassest]

this is my own writing, yes. i to am fasinated by hourglasses and the way sand drops. in this poem i tried to relate the dropping of sand to the tie in legend of death.

you should check out this song...

i don't know if you are a fan of mudvayne or not. i'm not much anymore, but i used to be. they have an unreleased song, a really slow-tempo'd melodic song about death, time, and the hourglass.

it's called 'goodbye'

see if you can download it, if not i'll e-mail it to you or something. REALLY good song.

a lot of people just see them for the hard music and screaming, but that band is pretty good musically.

[ledbassest]

i too used to listen to them a lot and have heard this song. it is a very good song, and they are pretty philosophical in their lyrics.

[Queso]

yes! well, glad you know what i'm talking about.

[ledbassest]

although i have heard this song i wouldn't mind the song. i do not own it myself. :xx: ;)

what's your e-mail?

[Turtle]

Small particles of ancient origin,

Precipitate ever lower down.

Kinetic energetic

Among us

Low

Affirm

Precipitate,

flowing passage.

First particle is last,

That ancient origin born anew.

what's your e-mail?

Isn't that a PM kind of question? These forums are indexed pretty well by the spiders that wander the web. Posting an email addy would likely up your spam ratio ;)

at the top of the line like a cloud,

falling slow motion, shroud.

something comes from,

out of the trees,

through fog,

moonlight,

comes,

an entity,

probably human,

but how can we be?

even be certrain that we?

exist. as the shadow moves closer

from the realm of darkness we've never questioned.

[rockytriton]

Like the sands of

time, so are

the

days of

our lives.......

that's nice writing, led. You have a great creative streak. I am always a little more critical of writing that falls into shapes or physical patterns (I tend to be a little more sceptical of writing capabilities if the writer must put the writing into a shape to draw attention...).. however, I really think this is a nice piece and an example of something that does work well with a shape. Do you keep a book or a journal?

Do you keep a book or a journal?

i have a great memery and write often, but i do not keep a journal. on the other hand i do keep a "small" portfolio of most of my work.
