Foregone Conclusion

You've reached your 
            goal
      and now you can take
             some time
     to revel in
          your success
    Yet it's transitory 
         like everything else
     The end of the story 
     is always the same
        If you wish 
           you can try to
       "live in the moment"
               or 
         "be here now"
    However you try to build
    your dam
        to hold back the rushing
   waters of time
           you will always 
   wind up in the same position
    Yet the sun still shines
    Moonglow still pierces 
  the night air
        A delicate piece of 
        crystal, this life
