Compare rivers and oceans
With time and eternity -
One flows into the other,
Forever one to be.
The winding ways of life
Consistently descend
Downhill where the scenes
Appear to clearly blend,
Until distinctly so,
Further from the grass,
The tall trees and blossoms
Turn but rare and sparse;
Mountains out of reach;
Plateaus dominate;
Echoes of past years
Behind that resonate.
What purpose true there be
Intended for a life
That must begin with pain
And later ends in strife?
No fleeting time nor age,
Nor any circumstance
Would ever pause to yield
To a modicum of chance.
The rivers and the oceans
Merge as one to be
So must the rapid flow of time
Into eternity.
