I Walked Through Time

I Walked Through Time

I walked through time with bare, soft feet,

Across lost hours I could not keep,

The sand held clocks instead of grain,

Each one ticking a quiet pain.

I carried light within my hand,

A fragile glow across that land,

Each step I took stirred dust and years,

A trail of whispers, hope and fears.

The faces gone, yet lingered near,

In every tick I felt them here,

A thousand lives beneath the ground,

All silent, yet so deeply loud.

I walked through moments never mine,

Through broken edges left by time,

Each clock a story left behind,

Each second carved into the mind.

The lantern flickered, soft and low,

As if it feared what I might know,

That time is not a steady stream,

But scattered shards of every dream.

I did not run, I did not hide,

I let the endless waves collide,

For in that place of loss and truth,

I found the echoes of my youth.

Still the clocks still marked their claim,

I left there changed, not quite the same,

For time may take, and time may bend,

But it cannot break what will not end.

So I walked on, beyond the tide,

With quiet strength now at my side,

The past behind, yet still with me,

A guide through all I’m yet to be.
