Timelessness
Timelessness
Some things were here before we came and stay after we go
Human beings have brevity in the eternal flow
The planets spun before we came and spin after we go
Orbit patterns have constancy in the eternal flow
The mountains stood before we came and stand after we go
Stately summits have majesty in the eternal flow
The oceans rolled before we came and roll after we go
Tidal currents have gravity in the eternal flow
The redwoods grew before we came and grow after we go
Skyscraper trees have sovereignty in the eternal flow
The sunbeams gleamed before we came and gleam after we go
Celestial rays have energy in the eternal flow
Some things were here before we came and stay after we go
Durable cores have timelessness in the eternal flow.
