The rings of time keep turning as silent years unfold

You ask how far Ive traveled but I see the dust below

Each grain tells a story imprinted on the ground

As time slips through my fingers in its quiet endless sound

Laughter lingers softly like echoes from the past

While pain like rising tides returns to claim its grasp

Ive watched the seasons shift seen lifes fleeting bloom

Wandered through the darkest nights til dawn dispelled the gloom

Each pause becomes a mirror a moment to rewind

The landscapes of my memories etched deeply in my mind

I see the younger version smiling in the breeze

And glimpse the road ahead inviting me with ease

Time refines the stories like wine aged through the years

What once was lost to shadows now crystal clear appears

The road ahead is calling though long it shines so bright

In every step I take Ill find my inner light

Memories become a song a verse that never fades

Etched into the lines of time in poetry they stay
