Moments in Time (Jaffa Clock Tower)
Moments in time
As I watched the sky constantly shift and transform, I couldn't help but reflect on the nature of time. Why is it that in moments of joy, when hearts are light and smiles are wide, time seems to slip away so quickly, just like the fleeting shapes in the sky?
In those bright moments, I want to hold on, to capture every fleeting second before it slips away. But doesn't the beauty lie in the moment it happens and not in clinging to the past? Yet, when I'm feeling low or stuck, time seems to crawl, dragging on like heavy, gray clouds that stubbornly cling to the sky, refusing to make way for change.
Still, time moves forward at its own steady pace, much like the ever-changing sky. In time, everything will shift, just as the clouds eventually part to reveal a clear, blue sky.
