Listen to poem:

That All Things Must Pass

That All Things Must Pass
David J Walker

The day does come
	Surely 
As the fragrance fades
The scent, a memory of
What it meant to fall
In love

The day does come
	Cruelly 
As petals fall away
Darkening, drying 
At the base of
spent dreams

The day does come
	Quickly
Swiftly, as each beautiful thing 
That lives then dries
And dies while  you
Are watching

The Day does come 
Finally 
That all things must pass
