   Transience and Change

Among the slowing drifting
  clouds and stars
the moon pierces
a deep-October sky.
We are but dreamwalkers
alone in this traceless life
and the mystery of Time.
No matter which road
  one travels,
there is only the
certain certainty
of permanent
impermanence.
In yesterday, today,
  tomorrow
there is no special
meaning or truth.
Cling to nothing
for all is transience
  and change.

                 --- b. e. adams (10/8/2015)

There are likely several hundred billion stars in our “Milky Way” galaxy alone …
and several hundred billion galaxies in the ‘known’ universe … which may itself
be of infinite extent or one of an infinity of universes …

what does any man truly ‘know?!’ …

While being somewhat new to reading your poetry (which I thoroughly enjoy), this is a bit of a different take.

A nihilistic approach to life is often born from solitude. The opposite of course is to discover and nurture faith in a creator. It's usually one way or the other.

The first is easy for some and the second a little more difficult. Still, we all possess one thing in common and have all along in our journey and that is the freedom to choose what we wish to believe and what we choose to live or die for.

In any respect, thank you for a most intriguing post SHDP. I'll look forward to reading more of your writing.
