Not time <br />Nor tide <br />Not even life <br />Nothing lasts forever <br /> <br />Seasons go <br />Flowers fade <br />Colours change <br />The moon wanes <br /> <br />Happiness gives way <br />To sadness and longing <br />Despair gives way <br />To hope and joy <br /> <br />Does love really last <br />The trials of life <br />Or is the status quo <br />A crutch to keep going <br /> <br />Do soulmates really meet <br />Life after life <br />Beating death <br />At its own tricky game <br /> <br />Why do we try <br />To hold on to <br />A chimera of the now <br />When nothing lasts forever <br /> <br />What is eternity <br />The big, forever and ever <br />That is chased <br />By seekers and bounty hunters alike <br /> <br />What is the chase <br />When we are to walk an unknown road <br />And nothing lasts <br />Forever<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-lasts-forever-8/
