Time(ly) Talk

I, Time, have passed through these gates.
As the dust on your feet
carried from places far away,
bringing stories in every particle,
covering everything
with layers of its existence.

I, Time, have passed through these gates.
As the wisdom of your age
gathered over the years,
and distributed, unequally
to all your kin,
as a legacy of your existence.

I, Time, have passed through these gates.
As the happiness and sorrow
that you carry in your heart,
neatly indexed (alongside their sources)
to be remembered sometimes
only by a part of your existence.

I, Time...
have passed...
through these gates...
As You.

SS,
Like I said, the photo fest started with your beer shot. Went to my collection to get the photo with drinks, and found others too.
PS: Time can be a good scapegoat ;)

Totti,
Thanks, and for once you can do without agreeing with Rohan. Stop being his sidekick :p
