All Things Pass, Poem by Lao Tzu

All Things Pass,

Rating: 5.0


All things pass,

A sunrise does not last all morning,

All things pass,

A cloud burst does not last all day,

All things pass,

Nor a sunset all night,

All things pass,

What always changes,

Earth, sky, thunder, mountain, water, wind, fire, lake,

These change,
And if these do not last,

Do man's visions last?

Do man's illusions,

Take things as they come?

All things pass.

Visions do not last, yet the moment of beauty fascinates us all and we stop and admire this beauty. Thank You Lao and welcome to PH
