Ageless

The freshness of loves first kiss
Dwindles with the setting sun
As with everything in this world 
Nothing is to last forever

Even the red oaks gracefully tall
Are confounded when faced 
With the ages of the world
And they too shall fall

Nothing is to last forever
Apart from the beauty of words
From cuneiform to hyroglyphics 
Each word is ageless

Words do not die my friends
They adapt, change 
With each passing year
Still! Giving life meaning

Each line I write
Is a gift, a portrait
Of a world that's dying
An immeasurable eulogy 

Each word is a gift 
Each word is a balm

May they soothe you all
