The Hands of Time: Poetry Collection

By Joseph D Hamilton

The Hands of Time:

Time is not a gentle river; it is a relentless, shoreless sea. It sweeps away the laughter of our youth, erodes the sanctuaries of our childhood homes, and reduces our most cherished belongings to a silent inheritance of dust. Yet in its cold, indifferent march, time also leaves behind something sacred: the echoes of those who walked before us, whispering from the shadows, begging never to be forgotten.
In this hauntingly intimate collection of poetry, Joseph D. Hamilton delivers a profound meditation on memory, mortality, and existential dread. Moving through misty veils, abandoned rooms, and the quiet spaces where past and present collide, The Hands of Time confronts Father Time in all his forms-as an ambush predator lurking in our periphery, a solemn judge counting our fleeting hours, and, on rare occasion, a merciful guardian granting a final, fleeting moment of grace.
Rich with atmospheric depth and raw emotional truth, these poems give voice to the spectral lingering of loved ones, the bittersweet weight of aging, and the quiet power of holding tight to the smallest details before the tide carries them away. The Hands of Time is a stark, deeply human testament to the beauty we build in the face of our ultimate decay-a book for anyone who has ever looked back into the dark and listened for the voices that remain.
