Impermanence

Remaining in silence

Observe the breath

Isn't it impermanent, like all?

See it come and go like waves

On oceans of life and death

The things that you see and express

They were, they are, and will be

The words, the fragrance, the breath

And all things that lay beyond

Shall perish in eternal flow

But their mystery's beauty

Gracefully persists forevermore

Remaining in silence

Observe the breath...

Isn't it impermanent, like all?
