The Cycle of Moments

The wristwatch rhythm 
Time ever moving today has past
Yesterday, weeks, months, years…all has faded
The moment exists but finitely and soon it perishes

What I am withers 
Memories fade to slowly forgotten 
All existence grows, vigor, youthful…withering gray
What is now to what has been to passing away

Holding fast to ideas 
Erecting monuments to yesteryear steadfast
Into magnificence, goodness, myth…its time arrives
It lapses into legend of today’s values, then nothing

What truly exists?
All things blissful in loving, and breaking, and nothing
Cyclical of seasons, life, growth, reminisce…and tears
For even the greatest things have come to past

Less a truth of love…
