Firelight

Nothing lasts forever.

The mountain, sky,

the endless breakers of the chameleon sea,

ebbing, flowing,

grim or glorious.

Each breath is different.

From yin to yang,

The pendulum swings.

Not matter how we cling

or feint,

or keep forgetting,

the small and flickering

flame within us

goes on and on and on.

Thus, the beautiful and heart breaking

question

To what do I give my attention?
