The body. This world
Impermanence it is
All things material
Waiting to evaporate
The moon. The sky
Never again will we see
Through the same eyes
In another lifetime
The name. The money
We shall lose
When we move on
Beyond this small sphere
The emotions. The memories
Drained out and gone
As some hold on to life
As some gladly let go
The bones. The flesh
All wither away
Like the petals of a flower
Plucked out and buried
The soul. The spirit
Clinging to it,
We seek another body;
Another world to call our own
Birth. Rebirth
An unending cycle
Until one day
We finally rest in peace

Ever since I realised, completely understood and accepted the fact that everything in this world is impermanent...our body and soul are two different entities, life has become so much more meaningful and peaceful.
