Change Is The Only Constant

By Mouktika

As with time,

Everything changes.

Nothing ever stands still,

Always moving away.

I stood firm on the ground,

And then it gave away.

I was surrounded

And then I was alone.

There was the darkness,

And then there was the light.

There was the silence,

And then there was the noise.

A couple moments

From each phase I stole.

Held them close to my heart,

And then I know.

Nothing ever waits.

Nothing ever stops.

These fleeting moments,

That’s all we’ve got.

Not today,

But one day

I will wake up to accept,

“Change is the only constant.”
