Common PAR The Palette Knife of Time
The palette knife of time paints not with colors bright,
But with shades of decay and the dimming of light.
It scrapes across the canvas of our days,
Blurring once sharp memories in its relentless haze.
With each sweep, it carves the lines deeper into skin,
A chronicle of battles lost and won, of thin
Veils between what was and what will never be again,
Leaving behind a tableau marred by pain and stain.
This tool, this merciless artist of the finite,
Casts shadows where once there was light,
Turning laughter into echoes that fade into the night,
Transforming joy into remainss, brittle and slight.
Yet in its harsh strokes, there lies a type of grace,
A beauty found in the creased maps of an aged face.
It tells of survival, of a life fully lived,
Of moments seized, of love freely given.
This relentless carver, this bearer of the inevitable flow,
Does not pause to ponder its marks, high or low.
Unseen, it moves with certainty and silent might,
Leaving us nought but memories in its smoldering flight.
Do not mourn the harsh lines it leaves in its wake,
For in each crevice, a story of resilience, make no mistake.
Embrace the artistry of the years, the subtle hue of conflict,
For the palette knife of time carves the masterpiece of life.
