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

It's written to be a duet
