Hands of Impermanence

by Venerable Zhen Jue




The bird perch not tomorrow on this tree,
Singing yet another melody,
Roaming clouds pass not tomorrow by this way,
Shading yet another landscape,

What I sow, is what I reap;
What I lack today, tomorrow I may gain;
What I am today, tomorrow I am not.
Ah! The hands of Impermanence works its way through all!
