Hourglass

As the hourglass grains of our life do fall A million more days like the last your only request For you i'd spend those days in the desert collecting them all Without water, food or affection, I would do my best Seems such a pleasant task to me should befall It's only the Clear Blue Sky to remind me when I take rest The scorching truth of your beauty to which I crawl The cool water of the Oasis to which the sun gives rise My thoughts were all of this, from one of your eyes Finally in your arms my hands upon your hips I found life's true beauty resting upon your lips
