CHANGE

Everything in life is in
a constant state of change
A mountain may appear fixed
for it is unlikely to change noticeably
in our lifetime
Yet from the perspective of infinite time
that mountain is just as transient
as the morning mist
Even as one looks at the mountain
it is changing
The sun, wind, rain, snow
and other forces of nature
are continually changing that mountain
It may take millions, perhaps billions of years
for a noticeable change
but Nature has infinite time
for the change

Thank you for your comment.
Buddhism refers to this state of change or impermanence as "annica". It is one of the tenets of Buddhism.

coffee Ill be pondering the changes on
the earth while having my supper.
the sky , moves constantly ,
the temperature never static ,
the energy ebbing all the time ,
the ocean is nearly always in motion ,
But the earth seem still unless earthquake shakes .
but in reality the tectonic plates are always under pressure .
What if I can say .,
" see you in a 1000 years ."
like your post ed poem .!
