Each blossom to its fruit gives birth
Each morning dawns then leads to night
For nothing ever lasts on Earth
But all things change or else take flight.
Even the finest summer will
Feel autumn’s chilly breath one day.
Be patient, leaf, and hold on still
Until the wind steals you away.
Play the game, there’s no defence
So simply let it come
And let the wind just bear you hence
And blow you to your home.
