Changes...

From the advent of time
Change has been our way of life.
While some species are extinct
Some others endure and thrive on...
Children become adults
Birds leaving their nests.
Distances are conquered
Worlds are discovered
Language and Laws
Culture and Conventions
Desires and Dreams
Are constantly on the mend
We turn a new leaf
Discard the old
And embrace the new.

Like the mist on a mountain

Change creeps up behind you 

And all of a sudden you realise

The past is long gone

The future has arrived.

Even as the world evolves

Somethings remain solid

Like the earth beneath our feet.

But, the mystery of life,

The quest for understanding,

The search for self

Are always relevant no matter the age.
