Impermanence - Tumblr Posts
When I think of wabi-sabi, I think of bts.
So It Went
The sun shone its fiercest rays on her skin
Bit by bit she fashioned her castle, unleashing the imagination within
In the tropical heat and its painful glow
Rhythmic to the waves crashing high and low
She made a citadel raise out of the shore as majestic as she could
And headed over for more sand to build her world as she said she would
When a huge tide bellowed over it, backstabbing and cruel
Leaving a heap of remains, bringing her castle down to its last jewel
Though let down initially, the crash only strengthened her resolve
To build back what she’d made and lost in the dissolve
Bit by bit she rebuilt, now with ace and experience to embrown
Alas, the next big wave, mighty and merciless brought it down
And so it went, she ploughed on with erecting her structure
Undeterred and dedicated to every single fracture
The sea waves hitting her with the impermanence of life
And she replied with her human tenacity so rife
I was drowning
Lost at sea
I was just another broken version of me
I didn't know how to swim
I was sinking with glee
But I didn't have to find you
You found me
My brother told me that he doesn't like talking to others but that he's fine with talking to me because I'm the only person he knows that plays Genshin, but what will he do when he's no longer interested in the game? Will he stop coming by my room? Will he stop texting me memes? Will he stop asking if I want to hear the latest leaks? Will I only see him during dinner when he's home for a break, and then never again?
Interests wane in severity. I know this. How much longer will my brother be friendly before he no longer needs me around to listen to him?
nothing is eternal- everything is fleeting and passes without a sound- does this finality mean they have no meaning? you know a flower will eventually die- does that destroy the beauty it holds?
and yet don’t wish for things to go unchanged forever- everything is cycles, going around and around, falling down upon each other.
life’s beauty is borne of its impermanence- but goddamnit it still hurts !
