Glass

As the last grain of sand fell into the glass,
I stepped across the line and went into the past.
I cut off a branch from the top of the tree
I carved my name and threw it into the sea.
As the last grain of sand fell into the past,
I took a breath as if it were my last.
I looked into your eyes and took my vow
I knew not then what I do know now.
As the past grain of life fell with the glass,
I stepped across the line and turned to the last.
I drank your health with a cupful of shards,
As the last grain of sand fell into the glass.
