Impermanence
Whatever the ambition rank and fame will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the dejection doom and murk will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the transition shift and form will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the suspicion doubt and qualm will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the intention aim and drive will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the depression grief and loss will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the position slant and lay will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
Whatever the volition wish and choice will end.
Accept impermanence as the wiser friend.
