I'm just a Poe girl, from a Poe family

This morning while I drank my coffee I decided to stimulate my brain reading some of my favorite poetry.  Reading the works of great poets inspired me to write again (which I haven't done or at least made known since high school).... So here's a poem. I'm no Robert Frost but I like to have fun with words.

Untitled

Sometimes the world moves so fast
And the days we greatly long for pass
And within a blink of time we sit, we bore upon the hourglass

Each grain of sand becomes a dream
In which we no longer esteem
Dropping one by one, below the hourglass we so endlessly beam

These aspirations become wraiths
In a body of people losing faith
We lose our grip within our minds and with ourselves, cannot relate

Life takes a hold and sucks us in
Our passions lost in its whirlwind
We must step back and take a breath and let our dreams begin

For we may not ever know the bliss of letting our hearts win
