Forever is Just Temporary

Forever is just an illusion.

Transient makes a much better friend.

Forever will lead to confusion,

believing some things will never end.

Eternity can be quite useless,

if your lover must go off to war.

When affairs are seemingly hopeless,

hope lies at the impermanent door.

Perpetual seems like a promise,

a collusion in desperate times.

Beauty of briefness too many miss,

renewal is our purpose sublime.

Temporary will always be there.

It’s the reason we even are here.

If all should become static and rare,

forever would be our supreme fear.
