Time whispers through the ticking clock,
Its hands unyielding in their forward dance.
Moments slip through our grasp,
A river of seconds flowing,
Never retreating.

Each dawn births new promises,
Yet, sunset swiftly claims the day,
A reminder that time’s passage
Knows no return.
No rewind,
No pause,
Just the ceaseless advance.

Footprints left in yesterday’s sand,
Fade beneath today’s relentless tide.
Memories linger, shadows cast
By light that was and will never be again.
We chase the echoes of our past,
Knowing each step propels us,
Irrevocably forward.

In the dance of seasons,
Spring to summer, autumn to winter,
We see the pattern,
Yet cannot step back.
Each heartbeat,
Each breath,
A testament to time’s unwavering course.

So we live,
Embracing the moment,
For time, in its infinite wisdom,
Teaches us the value
Of now.
