There’s Never a Forever

Forever’s a lie;

a fiction we tell ourselves

to ease the terror

of the final cessation

and the grave that looms ahead.

***

Harken to the truth

that nothing lasts forever.

Prepare, but don’t fret,

for all life is transient

and impermanence rules all.

***

The clock is ticking,

and the sands are running down,

so do not assume

you will always have more time.

There’s never a forever.
