I sit on the beach
nostalgic beyond words, thoughts
scattering, running

Upside down, like sands
in a broken hourglass;
In search of meaning

through transient freedom,
lost in reckless abandon
Though in the process

of being, living
Immortally suspended,
incarcerated;

Still, invisible
quite incomprehensible,
Until they dissolved.

So, I walk away,
like the spilled sands, my thoughts
and my heart, simply, ran out.
