Time's Light

Golden moments vanish in time's ancient light,
leaving pieces of memories within life's dust.
The approaching years erode human minds,
painting fragile skin with a wrinkle's rust.

Time silences the reckless souls of youth,
guiding adults to wisdom's endless sea.
Childhood's mistakes echo through misty days,
connecting regrets to the heart's growing tree.

Crumbling voices haunt the fading minutes,
filling the aging air with wisps of sorrows.
Time bubbles with the soap of change,
cleansing the mind for the evolving tomorrows.
