The Hands of Time

Time is more valuable than anyone might think.

Time falls through our fingers like a river of ink.

Our pen is starting to dry,

the clock prepares us to say our goodbyes.

When the time comes to announce the end,

we watch the hand of time rounding the bend.

Slowly reaching the end of time,

the world takes back what once was mine.

Brevity and conciseness, something I strive for. I like it very much.

Yes!  "Time falls through our fingers like a river of ink."  That was an eye-catching line!  "Our pen is starting to dry, the clock prepares us to say  our goodbyes."  That was a heart-catching line!
