Effervescence

It's early morn
Pitch black, hearts torn
The ghosts whispering
Has it been so long?

The silent screeching
Leaves crunching
Toes curling, hair raising
White mist swirls.

Shadows shape shift.
Winds directionlessly swift
Tick tock, there goes another day
Flip flop, another year
Bang - clang, another decade. .

Time slips through
Sand in my hand
Grab what you can
The effervescence.
