sands of time

My heart shines dark,
There seems no end to my worry,
I feel drained of my spark,
No expression but fury.

Confusion runs wild in my mind,
A feeling of not knowing,
Desperately running out of time,
The sands have stopped flowing.

I long to catch a breath,
And calm my aching mind,
But where to take the next step?
The path I cannot find.

The road parts two ways,
Or maybe it is three?
The endless possibilities,
I need a light to see.
