The Come and Go Pattern Forms the Present and Past

Everything in this world is ever on change fast;
The come and go pattern forms the present and past.
Historic sites are preserved everywhere on landscape;
And now we can climb and visit them in intact shape.
Yuliang islet is exposed because of the falling water;
Yunmeng Lake looks deep and serene at cold weather.
The stele of Yang Hu still stands upright today;
Tears roll down as I read through the stele essay.
