Musings on the passage of time....
Time passes
Years flow by
Memories fade like photographs
On the walls of our homes

The wind rustles leaves
The pages of our lives
Become yellowed in the progression into autumn

Time passes

Unnoticed in the eyes of the young
Whose lives, only just beginning
Exist in the meadows of spring

Time passes

Noted by elders
Watching the seasons change
Autumn becomes winter

Friends depart
Leaves falling from trees
New friends blossom
Their petals fresh

Time passes

No constancy in time
Tides rush the shore
Vast power shifts fragments of life
Irreparably eroded

Time has passed
