Time dances away

in the blink of an eye
time dances away
slipping through our fingers 
like grains of sand in an hourglass 
it rushes forward 
with an unstoppable momentum 
heedless of our pleas 
for it to slow down 
each second 
each minute
a fleeting whisper in the wind 
leaving only memories in its wake 
days blur into weeks 
weeks into months
and before we know it
years have passed 
like a forgotten dream

  2. Wonderfully stitched together, and makes you stop and think about how we spend our time! I lovvvve this part:

    “heedless of our pleas
    for it to slow down
    each second
    each minute
    a fleeting whisper in the wind”

    So expressive and moving! ⏳
