This timeless
escalator of our life
Will take us apart
Like strong winds
And Oceanic tides
None of us
Can escape this drill
Of moving on
And not stand still
A universal plan
Applicable
To all creeds
And human clan
One by one
People come
And go
Some hold
our hands
While others hurt
Each Playing a part
Before they depart
There are others
That Just cross our paths
No lessons to teach
They Have no role
And then, when
We reach the end
Of our designated route
It's a different world
As we cross the threshold.
We all disperse
In the universe
Returning to
All the five elements
Other worlds we have to
Traverse.
