This is a heartfelt reflection on life’s ever-changing journey. It walks through the quiet struggles of yesterday, the restless pace of today, and the uncertainties of tomorrow.
Yet, amidst the highs and lows, it reminds us that a guiding hand holds all our days
# Changing Threads of Time #
I move through time like shifting sand,
Yesterday closed, tomorrow unplanned.
Yesterday, I worked with steady hands,
My heart a drum in quiet lands.
Today I shine on a fragile screen,
A restless mind, a fleeting dream.
The world spins fast, it pulls, it calls,
I laugh, I sway, I stumble, I fall.
Yesterday, I tried to leave a spark,
A little light against the dark.
Today, the world spins fast and loud,
I smile, yet feel outside the crowd.
Tomorrow may take my place away,
A wandering soul, a drifting day.
Through rise and ruin, one truth shines through—
God holds the threads of all we do.

“Yesterday, I tried to leave a spark,
A little light against the dark.
Today, the world spins fast and loud,
I smile, yet feel outside the crowd.”
Every spark against the dark leaves a little more to see. Those lines hold some depth.

“Thank you so much.
Sometimes the smallest spark is all we can offer, but even that tiny light has a way of softening the darkness.
I’m glad the lines resonated with you — they came from a quiet place inside,
where we all balance between the noise of the world and our own gentle truths.”

What a profoundly beautiful and moving piece, Verma ji. You have woven the very essence of the human experience into these lines—the quiet dignity of our past efforts, the frantic and often isolating pace of the present, and the humble acceptance of an uncertain future.
The imagery of “shifting sand” for time and the “fragile screen” for modern life is so powerful and relatable. But the most comforting part is the unwavering truth you leave us with: that through every high and low, every stumble and fall, a divine hand “holds the threads of all we do.” This is a timeless reminder of grace and purpose. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt reflection; it truly resonates.
