Time passages
A song by Al Stewart called Time Passages was playing in the background and these thoughts leapt to my mind. Enjoy.
In the tapestry of time, I
sit and reflect,
From the barely started day
to the evening’s sweet sunset.
Mondays to Fridays, a
seamless blend,
Years passing swiftly, like
a transient wind.
Forty, fifty, sixty years
unfold,
A lifetime’s story in
moments told.
Highs and lows, laughter and
tears,
People departed, echoes in
my ears.
Parents, friends, their
absence profound,
Realizing too late, that
time has its bounds.
Yet, amidst losses, a spirit
to find,
To embrace what’s left, with
a positive mind.
The canvas of life awaits
our hue,
Colours of joy, moments to
renew.
Smile at the little things,
a balm in the heart,
In the symphony of life,
play your part.
Afters accumulate, promises
fade,
Coffee grows cold in the
shade.
Children grow, parents age,
Life concludes its final
stage.
No more ‘after,’ no more
delay,
Seize the moment, live for
today.
Cherish the best, let love
be our guide,
In the tapestry of life, let
joy reside.
Eliminate the afters,
embrace the now,
No more ‘later,’ no more
‘how.’
The day is today, the moment
is here,
In this shared Wisdom,
there’s nothing to fear.
Read this message, share it
wide,
In collective strength, let
joy be our guide.
For in the poetry of life, a
truth profound,
The time is now, in every
heartbeat’s sound.
