Hijack My Heart

Years slip by

Each year slips by
faster and the length
of each year
becomes months
becomes days
I fear by old age each year
will become hours
become liquid memories
escaping
between fingers
to evaporate
into oblivion

    It’s interesting as one of the signs of the end of times narrated by the prophet sallahualahyi wa salam is that time would go quickly.

    Just reaffirms for me.. why focus on the dunya when it’s just a fleeting moment

    Maybe in old age the years begin to blur because there were so many of them. But I have the impression that memories become more valuable. A thoughtful post : )
