Simply Senryu: Every Artist Knows

Every artist knows
That craft plus soul equals art
His tools of the trade

When you come to know
There is sadness in beauty
You start to grow up

Though now's not perfect
One should not trust the future
Or live in the past

What is an era
A chapter of history
In the tale of time

We all give in to
The omnipotence of time
Sooner or later
