How long is a lifetime?

​HOURGLASS

They tell us that
our time is running out,
that our life is slipping away.
Like the sand
in an hourglass.

What they don’t know
is that we have learnt
to turn the hourglass
upside down,
and begin over again.

And we can continue
to do this forever.
For our repositioning
is not based on time, but on
 an understanding of who we are.
