What is Eternal?

Certainly the beauty of a rose

Its fragrance and green leaves

Or the howling winds

Where they go no one knows

And sweet spring seasons never leave

Or the stoic moon

Cries of the Northern Loon

The temples built and rebuilt

The fine starlight disappearing after night

The endless tides

A tear a laugh a cry

The youth of babes is too easy to save

A name a face a moment in time

The sun never fading

And memory never changing

The lives of house flies

Birds in the skies

The number of human lives

Because no one ever dies.
