Time

Time moves quietly, yet it leaves marks deeper than we ever imagine.

It gives us childhood - the barefoot summers, the laughter of friends, the voices of those who raised us-and then it takes them back, one by one, leaving only shadows and echoes behind.

It brings us ambition and desire, only to remind us later of the weight of regret. It grants us love, but it also teaches us the ache of loss.

In Time: Poems on Childhood, Aging, Loss, and Memories, Adisa Noor offers a hauntingly tender meditation on the fragile nature of existence.

These poems move through the seasons of a life: the innocence of youth, the slow unraveling of age, the inevitable encounters with grief, and the bittersweet solace of memory. Each page holds both a wound and a balm, carrying the reader into reflections that are deeply personal, yet undeniably universal.

This is not merely a book of poems; it is a mirror for every reader who has watched a parent grow old, buried a friend too soon, or traced the outlines of a photograph long after the smile has faded. It is a reminder that though time steals much, it cannot erase what love imprints upon us.

To read these poems is to walk through your own memories, to mourn what has passed, and to hold closer what still remains. For while time always ends, love always stays.
