Once upon a time, long, long ago, this little one in a small class of very inspiring people heard someone say: "Change is the only changeless law." And: "Everything passes away."
The little one didn't quite recognise those deep pearls of wisdom. Now, that is one milestone of learning.
The next one is coming to terms with the first one.

Or, as the Bard would say:
"Why so large a cost, when so short a lease/
Dost thou on thy fading mansion spend?"
So I would say to the Bard:
For the mansion is my abode
Though only for a while.
And while I am here, I must make
beauty, for I see it all around.
And the Bard would say to you:
"And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence/
Save breed to brave him, when he takes thee hence."
And I would reply:
Time may slash through all;
bring death and fade and summer's fall
But He cannot take from this moment
the bliss and timelessness that is its very own.
c.h.a.n.g.e.
of summers and rains :)
And Omar Khayyam would agree with you:
"Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly—and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing."
@the Seer:
I am not sure I've got it right, what you mean about summers and rains. Tell?
@the piper:
That is beautifully written. :) I love it.
