Slipping as sand through fingers.
Memento mori.

        Oh, but they’re not “kind”–always sincere.

    Gorgeous words! Love the idea of seconds like thunder – lovely image that. And always slipping through our fingers – very true. 🙂

      Thank you! Much appreciated praise, particularly from an accomplished writer, such as you.

      I find that forcing myself into 17 syllables is akin to a purification of the thoughts. (Maybe I should write a haiku about that 🙂 )

        You are too kind to lavish me with such praise 😉 I hadn’t counted syllables, but I should have known — your lines speak to my soul and provide boundless inspiration!

        Blushing… 🙂
