Flows of time

A poetic recall

The time is flowing its own course, where time is going is beyond our control. The time is always present and forever passing, leading us to destinies yet to be known.

Wherever the time is flowing, we will follow, sometimes a calm river, but more often fast-flowing water. Generating new floods like never before, leading us to a future that we can only serenade later.

Our time evaporates as our memories fade, as if it floats away into the infinite horizon. But isn’t it amazing that time carries our recollections, traveling with the light into the eternal space?

Time — it is rather a strange phenomenon, to never comprehend exactly what it is. And yet how much of what lives in us is older as if part of the times is surviving in us.

You can see it in newborns, a glimpse in their eyes as if the wisdom of the sages is reborn again. Seemingly the ages of time are passing by, just before the veil of ignorance softly closes.

Isn’t it awkward that our beings vanish in time, into echoes of the unknown depths of our souls? It is not the time that passes, but you and me, for the time only lives through our reflections.

But the flows of time will never fade you, for I will love and recall you for all time. I will evermore ferry you in my heart, just as the time will carry on the light in me…

Stay safe and be well! 💕
