Time never truly belongs to anyone — that’s one of the hardest truths of life. This poem talks about the moments we try to hold onto tightly, only to watch them slip away like sand. It moves through quiet love, pain caused by our own people, and friends who stay silent when we need them most. But it doesn’t end in sadness. If you’ve ever felt time slipping away, loved someone in silence, or been hurt by people close to you, these simple lines will feel like your own story. And in the end, it reminds us that faith keeps hope alive, no matter what we lose along the way.
Life moves on the support of time
But time has never belonged to anyone
The moments we held carefully in our palms
Even they didn’t stay, like sand they slipped away
Love isn’t found by begging for it
It burns quietly like a lamp in silent hearts
It doesn’t speak the language of words, but of feelings
It grows in silent prayers
Pain isn’t always given by strangers
Often our own people wound the heart
Those we called our own for a lifetime
They too sometimes pass by with indifference
Friends often just remain spectators
How would they recognize the blame in our eyes?
They claim to be with us in gatherings
But in loneliness, rarely do they hold our hand
Yet still, life doesn’t stop — it moves forward with time.
Whoever has faith in God,
hope always stays alive in their heart.
FAQ’S:
1. Is quiet love as real as love that's openly expressed? (Yes/No)
Yes. Quiet love often runs deeper because it isn’t for show — it’s felt, not performed, just like this poem says love speaks through feeling, not words.
2. Is this poem only for people who've been betrayed? (Yes/No)
No. It’s for anyone who wants to understand life, time, and relationships more honestly — you don’t need to have been hurt to relate to it.
3. Does having faith in hard times keep hope alive? (Yes/No)
Yes, exactly what the last line says — whoever holds on to faith never fully loses hope, no matter how things look on the outside.
4. How do you deal with people close to you turning cold?
Start by accepting your feelings instead of pushing them away, give yourself time, and don’t measure your worth by how someone else treats you. Distance — even quiet distance — often helps the heart heal.
5. How do you hold onto hope once time has passed?
The simplest way is to value small moments and hold on to faith. As the poem says, time never stays — but faith does.
