Hourglass time

Things get better
in hourglass time.

A single grain of sand falls
to the hard bottom of its glass encasement,
and then is smothered by a thousand of its own kind.

Its life turned upside down,
it will ride the backs of those that suffocated it.
Once again on top, and victorious in hourglass time.
