Wounded Couplet Poem

Constancy

by damommy


As seasons change and years go flying by,
the future rushes forth to win the race
and leaves the past behind.
Yet all those times and those to come are twined
to form a whole that nothing can displace.
They cannot wipe away or nullify
the traces that we leave when passed away,
departed from these shells formed out of clay.
