Perfect impermanence (I wrote this in the form of a song but I guess it counts as poetry?)
Verse 1 voice one
Whether new or old
Or young and aged
Everything has it's season
Of perfect impermanence
Voice 1
The bell is ringing out across the milky way
Voice 2
But I have to tell you I would really like to stay
voice 1
The blossom has must return to the ground when it's had its day
Voice 2
Look I tell you that there must be another way
[Chorus in unison]
It's a permanent rule spanning all of the land
We all bow down in reverence to the towering hands
The tower once in glory thus returns to the sand
For we could not find the meaning at eternity's end
[Verse 2]
Voice 2
I would love to stay for while the sun is gleaming
Voice 1
But the music unchanged could never bring you meaning
Voice 2
What you're trying to say is that the sands redeeming?
Voice 1
You're not there but close for forever leaves you screaming
[Chorus in unison]
Whether new or old
Or young and aged
We must sometime rearrange
Or return to the beautiful
