“The sands of time cannot be stopped. Years pass whether we will them or not ...”- by Christopher Paolini

Written 19 April 2025

Your Choice R Poetry Contest 

Sponsored by Brian Strand

The Sands of Time The sands of time moves on without respite, whether monarchs or humble vassals have to bow at its moving shrine it drips on without kindness without grains of solace for souls great or small and does not wait for a while as it is a precious gift of God bestowed to man to apply with thrift not to waste it in vain as moments frittered away can never, never be regained despite all efforts to retrieve them despite all will to halt its silent march.

Hello Krishnanand, Oh how you captured the relentless, impartial flow of time with such clarity and grace. A POTD! I love how you show us that time is both a gift and a stern teacher-unmoved by status, unyielding to our pleas. Your words gently urge us to cherish each moment, for once lost, they’re truly gone. Thank you for this wise, beautifully crafted reflection. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
