Impermanence Is Permanent

Ask any fresh corpse.
It will tell you can't stop change,
Evade it or undo it.

It's done. On to something else
Which, when done, will be done, too.
The doing is undoing,
Which can't be undone.

Some things are not gone
But hidden. They may appear
Again before they're all gone,

But what's gone stays permanently
Gone. That's the magic.
As long as you're here you are
Impermanent. Then you're not.
