“Eternal Changes”

 (Part I)

In each desperate step
we take into the night
for each stretch of ground
our moon shadow passes
we so dearly have to pay;

For each grain of knowledge
we so eagerly seek after
from hidden corners
and faraway hills valleys
another mountain we must climb;

For each question we answer
completely or just in part
with more than one return
or simply one in which we search
another will we ask;

For each life we live
we many more will know
and if in one life we dwell
that much more will we miss
we so dearly have to pay!

(Part II)

Eternal changes begin small
meeting the certain one sure
gaining confidence within each
stretching our boundaries wide
finding mutual space to grow;

Exceeding each’s expectations
nurturing love within without
making the two to be one
trust/loyalty/honesty = love
hard to achieve but of worth;

Exploring emotions yet unknown
severing ties with the past
going forth as if the 1st day
allowing our moon shadows
merging and thus entwined;

Expressions of wonderment
within eternal changes occur
questions once inquired
now answering and asking
unending the journey begun!
