Nothing last forever



Behold!

There comes a time—

When blue will depart from the sky, 

And red will deny roses;


A time—

When the green will no longer appeal to the grass.

And the  face that glows will gloom;

But who knows when?!


Alas!

At birth, we bloom as the bird,

Flying from dawn to dusk without fainter hue;

Twinkling and flickering our tails as twinkle stars.


Sometimes, like the hummingbird, we gladly sang:

Cause we had no case against the sky,

Nor any  grudge against the cold;

Neither wonder why the moon atop,

But always wander with a bottle of merriment.


But there comes a time—

When sunlight will seem less bright,

Hummingbird will  less gladly sing;

And hills will appear steeper. 

Hmmm!

Nothing last forever!
