All mortal substance that is
Scatters and gathers
Forms and dissolves
Aligns and comes asunder
Infinite impermanence
Of all that comes to be
But never is
Perpetual reiteration
In the helix of existence
Labyrinthine continuum
Of enigmatic symmetries
Ephemeral configurations
Patterns form and dissolve
Converge, Repulse, Align, Collide
A nameless, endless procession
Wandering between the horizons
Multitudes, in perennial progression
From forgetfulness to oblivion
A vast and plodding pilgrimage
A drift between the eternities
A vanishing into nothingness
Into absolute and perpetual
Obscurity
No arrival, no ascent
Crawling onwards, to never meet an end
Mankind's tragedies and trivialities
A burden of recurrence
In the absence of finality
Labyrinthine continuum
Of enigmatic symmetries
Ephemeral configurations
Patterns form and dissolve
Converge, Repulse, Align, Collide
Infinite impermanence
Of all that comes to be
But never is
Perpetual reiteration
In the helix of existence
Step after step
On a circuitous path
Perpetuated while eternity lasts
Step after step
Again and again
Forever to return
No arrival, no ascent
Crawling onwards to never meet an end
Mankind's tragedies and trivialities
A burden of recurrence
In the absence of finality
What has been melts into what will be
Again, Again, Again, and Again
Forever and ever
Unfolding then undone
Become, to be gone
The world turns
All turns to dust
Scattering winds
Sowing seeds of ash
