Whispers of the Hourglass

Tick-tock! Who turns the wheel of time?
Is it dancing shadows on a fading wall?

Puzzles and riddles are wave-kissed sand, scattered
in search of our footprints. Can you count the grains?

Bluebirds sing "_Once upon a shifting second_"
as clouds wear funny hats of cotton candy dreams.

Linking thought and whisper,
as we juggle jellybeans from yesterday's jar.
