This poem considers the brief and mysterious nature of time and how it affects our lives. It looks at the lessons, challenges, and joys that time offers, encouraging us to appreciate each moment with patience and gratitude.

It’s a gentle meditation on living fully and paying attention to the subtle messages that time gives us.

# Whispers of Time #

Time tells a tale both strange and true,
Yesterday’s dreams, today’s the view.
A touch of joy, a shadow of sorrow,
Life is a river, flowing to tomorrow.

It stops for none, neither king nor poor,
Yet those who listen, find life’s hidden door.
It whispers patience, it hums of deeds,
It answers our hopes, it plants the seeds.

Time heals the wounds with gentle hand,
Guides the heart to understand.
No blame to carry, no grudge to keep,
It writes its messages, awake or asleep.

It tests, it molds, it shapes each turn,
From every fall, there’s something to learn.
Those who bend, not break, with its flow,
Finding light in journey, let their spirits grow.

Time has a style both fierce and sweet,
Smile, live fully, make each moment complete.
Who can know what the next hour will bring?
Yes, Cherish the present—it’s everything.
