The Inexorable Nature Of Life Poem by Anita Atina

Nothing lasts forever
Not love or life, not hope or joy
Not grief or despair
Not anger or calm repose

The only thing that overcomes these chains
Is time itself
The master craftsman
Of the fallacy of life

The charade continues
People come and go
The stories seemingly change
But the essence stands unchanged

Love gained, love lost
Living to the fullest or life denied
Living in the hopeful fallacy that we can somehow
Change the inexorable nature of life
