Strangers meet like a fleeting breeze
Polite words flow with practiced ease
Smiles like ripples on a quiet stream
But truth lies deeper than it seems
Time the silent keeper of fate
Watches who lingers who will fade
Storms arise tempers ignite
Gentle voices turn to fight
Yet patience blooms where roots run deep
True hearts endure false ones retreat
Seasons change faces fall apart
Who still stands within your heart
Promises drift like autumn leaves
Softly falling lost in the breeze
But when the night grows dark and long
Who will stay who was the song
The years will carve what words conceal
And only kindness proves whats real
Time is a mirror clear and wise
Reflecting truth behind disguise
Let us walk unmasked unchained
With honest hearts that stay unchanged
For in the end through joy or strife
It is our souls that shape this life
