Sands of Time

Contest entry for the word sand, which cannot be used.

Sands of Time

Sparkling, tumbling from my hand
Winking in the sunlight, mocking me
It slips through my dismayed fingers
No matter how tightly I cup my hands
How I try to squeeze and save, it slips
Shifting tiny granules falling away
From my grasp to rejoin the universe.
