Impermanence

“Death does not arrive with footsteps.”

July 18, 2026 1 min read Poetry

Deathdoes not arrivewith footsteps.

It has always beeninside the seed,teaching the flowerhow to let go.

Mountains,despite their confidence,practice becoming sand.

The riverdoes not fear the sea.Perhapsit has always knownits own namewas temporary.

We call it endingonly becauseour eyescannot watcha circlefrom above.
