The Hourglass: A Poem

Everything has come to pass, all but sand inside the hourglass.

A poem about a beautiful broken bird trying to soar again as time passes by. A poem for the hopeless, broken, and the bitter. May this poem lift up all spirits! Soli Deo gloria!


Everything has come to pass.

All but sand inside the hourglass.

Flying through troubles and sibylline,

Bittersweetness fixated to her unclenched teeth,

Where savages wished to hunt her, but she remained unreached.


A beautiful dame embroidered with emerald gold,

Stays bonded to His love with no heart sold,

Holds on to the Master's teachings and all she's been told.

At an early age she wandered aimlessly,

Where wolves, bears, and hunters tore her apart shamelessly.

She was a bird with a broken wing,

But now she's a hopeful beauty living with the king.

She seized a metamorphosis through unseen power,

Where galaxies crossed and where she was ready at the final hour.

Now, fleeting joy and praise cannot leave her sight,

For she is no longer a caged bird who has to put up a fight.


Everything has come to pass.

All but sand inside the hourglass,

Where bitterness has become tasteless

And new creatures don't appear faceless.

Where winter becomes spring,

Where everyone worships the king,

And where creatures no longer live in sin.

Each season has its new beginning.

The sun crosses, darkness disintegrates,

and everyone experiences the winning.


For but one,

Everything has come to pass.

All but sand inside the hourglass.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
