Nothing Remains The Same... Poem by david lessard

Nothing remains the same...
Mountains don't leave you,
nor streams and lakes,
The granduer of Nature stays
with you always...
Not like the death of a loved one,
or the deceitful wife,
or the womanizing husband...
Not like your youth,
or the finely tuned body
of an athlete.

The stars shine constantly,
the sun, endlessly;
The moon's a lover's beacon
as long as time exists...

But friends die unexpextedly,
and marriages crash unknowingly,
and your love ones scatter
to the four winds...

and nothing remains the same.
