Light & Shadow 2024: Time Moves Fast

Time

Avalon Bell | 2026

Time flies away So who’s to say If it was ever mine?

And time slips through my hands Small grains of sand Because no one can turn back time And I’m on my knees Feeling the sting Of the turning of the leaves Because just yesterday was spring

Speed through each phase Minutes and days blend together in a haze And they’ll say it’s all by design

As I get older Time seems to move faster There’s more on my shoulders Less pages in each chapter Caught in the wind Of who I am and who I’ve been Running out of time

Manage your time Better said than done Spiraling mind Running to nowhere and no one

And you push me away You’re not here to stay I’m walking a fine line

So as I get older It all moves faster I lose all my soldiers And all of them scatter

Take it day by day Live in the moment

The hourglass breaks My heart skips a beat Frozen in place As the glass cuts my feet

But do everything they say And seek your atonement

And time flies away So then, who’s to say What was and wasn’t mine?
