The sands of time slip through my hand

Familiar shores a foreign land

The sun above so fierce so near

Yet shadows whisper truths unclear

Life a mosaic of fractured light

Each shard reflecting wrong and right

In fleeting moments we seek to find

A deeper rhythm that soothes the mind

Existence trembles with questions vast

In every future echoes of past

The silent scream of stars unseen

Wakes the spirit from the machine

Through stillness born of earthly strife

We glimpse the fragile thread of life

In fractured mirrors a spark remains

To light the path through joys and pains
