as I kept staring at this picture I realised my life is in the possession of an hourglass
the sands would slowly glide down and quickly would the seconds pass
where a moment shall I accumulate memories of my pleasing days
or might curse the desolations of my unfavorable past
or might fill in the empty minutes of the present space
or shall predict the upcoming hours till the last
a moment passed on sighing upon my ill deeds
whereas a moment of faith deliberating my good casts
where death shall be the master of my tomorrow
and slowly shall slide down the final portion of sand
and a new being shalt be born on the topsy- turvy of the hourglass
life would be equivalent from beginning to end.

Time spent on the past can be sweet or bitter but never can bring it back. Whereas it is wasted time therefore can be debated. The sweetness wins.
The past makes our future. It can never be wasted. Every experience is us. We are every experience!

The topsy turvy of the hourglass.
Now that's the truth!

I like the bit about faith deliberating your good casts. Beautiful piece.
I agree with Gautami, no moment is wasted, but each is a piece of whatever me I am becoming. Really like the topsy turvy of the hourglass and all of your different perspectives,

'And a new being will be born on the topsy turvy of the glass'. That is such a profound expression of the natural order!

Make what you will of time, you are the master the time
granted you in this life.
One thing I love about Magpie, besides the prompt to write, is being able to read the great work that others such as yourself do with the same subject. Nice work,and thanks for commenting on my first try also.
I like that bit about the topsy turvy of the hourglass.Sometimes u don't know if u r coming or going. Sometimes up is down & down is up.
love that line about a new being being born on the hourglass ...tight write..nice magpie!
I very much liked this. Your honest appraisal of a life that contains both good and bad acts is refreshing. And I think it is brilliant the way you use the hourglass to represent reincarnation.
Dear Priyanka: An excellent, thought-provoking poem of the eternal questions. Particularly love;
"Where a moment I shall accumulate"
Love how the poem reminds me of the "topsy-turvy of the hourglass" with the concrete words in the middle. Very subtle and ingenious!
I liked the way this piece built from line one to the 'beginning to end' line
Such profound thoughts in this beautiful poem! :-)
we are so aware of time the essence of it when we watch it flow by are we not? Lovely words!
love your magical ending!
'pleasing days,'is beautiful. This is so true, we are all made of gathered moments, grains of sand in out hourglass lives.
