Moments // grains of sand
Sifting through the hour glass
Recording a life
Knowing // when the hour glass turns
Recapturing moments gone
My painting “Bits of Life”
Roth Poetry 
Such a pretty painting. It has a Victorian flavor to it. Wonderful tanka to boot.

Looking at the painting again, the hourglass is like a human figure and around it is the night sky with either stars or fireworks. It’s like a hieroglyph.
