Unknown Ends

Time as stream flows
 Ages as the  wind blows
 Experience as plant grows
 But the end no one knows

 Winter brings its thunder drops
 Summer hits our tender crops
 Nature keeps our finger crossed
 But the story never stops 

 People as snow drops and dry
 Thrones as men lives and die
 Crowns as flowers fade at night 
 But the play never seem to fly

 Sparrows up the sky croons
 Shadows on the wall zooms
 Our balls withrapt attention looks
 But time never seem to die so soon  

Our life: a play of suspence
 As the sky it seems it has no end
 As the oceans we peep to see its ends
 But what we only see is an unknown end
