Time Is Short

Time Is Short

The ticking echoes softly, yet so near,
A whisper of the hours, crystal clear.
The day we thought was endless, bright with flame,
Now dims to dusk, the night calls out our name.

Time is short, a breath that slips away,
A fleeting guest that never learns to stay.
It dances on the edge of every dream,
A river rushing faster than it seems.

We chase it through the corridors of youth,
Blind to its swiftness, careless with the truth.
We fill our hands with moments, thinking them our own,
But time is short, and life is only loaned.

All We Have Are Memories

I.

The sun fades softly on the distant hills,
Casting shadows long as time itself.
Whispers of days gone by linger in the still,
Their echoes resting on an old, dusty shelf.

A photograph, now worn with age,
Corners curling, colors dimmed by years,
But still it holds a fleeting glimpse—a page
From life, now blurred by laughter, loss, and tears.

The faces smile through decades’ haze,
Eyes bright with hopes we used to know,
Their dreams were like the summer days—
Brief, beautiful, and full of glow.

All we have are memories, they say,
Like fragile stars in a fading sky.
Moments vanish, nights turn to day,
But memories never truly die.
