Impermanence

Happy are we when we gather;

But when the things change,

And the time passes,

We witness our world shatter.

We hope against hope for one more day

Pray as we might,

Curse as we dare

But the time clicks away!

The lost time never to recover

The tarnishing beauty of nature

The abundance of the affluent

Nothing lasts forever!
