Probe

Pick up and find
The most precious thing
From pillar to post
From God to ghost
Everything abrupt hangs in the palace.
 
Pick up and find
The most everlasting thing
Life is short and time's fleeting
Attempt to seek in vain
Hard to retain.
 
Pick up and find
The most tangible thing
Nothing absolute,
All momentary existence
From pearls to coal mine
To Choose and capture all awaiting in a line.
