Aging

ageing1.jpg

Nothing
In this universe is
Permanent and stable
Every thing changes
To grow old and weaker
Only to wither and die
In a cycle with time.

So
Why be upset and weary
Let us age gracefully
Be subtle in letting
The external windows shut
One by one gradually.

This gradual detachment
From the worldly order
Brings content and peace
In preparing body and soul
For final rest in peace.

Comment Aging is presented most philosophically and practically! 'The external windows shut one by one gradually,' Wow!
