This is for the "Grains Of Sand" challenge created by Cendrine Marrouat which you can read about here and gave me an excuse to include one of my favourite Squeeze songs.

I do wish we could use justification in the Vocal editor, but I can't so hence the screenshot of the Google Docs version.

Because it is a visual poem it is also free form, so a series of words pertaining to the prompt.

The theme of this challenge is Grains of sand.

The

Hourglass

Counting Every

Second As The

Sands Of Time

Flow Marking

Forever
