Occasionally I freely go with the tide of time.
Often those around me are similar of thought
Though once in a moment their company is overwhelming.
I speed my motion to remove myself from their presence
Yet I meet them or similar along this journey of time.
The warmth of closeness and the rush of wind and air
The outward reflection of the earth, are mere rooms.
My time is near its end I am but a grain of sand
In this hour glass of time, will I ever revolve again?

Bravo, David!! There's an American tradition of 2-line poems in the same direction you took:

The old dog barks without getting up;
I can remember when he was a pup.
by Robert Frost

Here's mine:

Ode to September 9

When you can hear the train,
It's going to rain.
