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
