Mono No Aware

Echoing the impermanence of all
In this place so real, once lost, then gained
The same wave, repeating again
Over and over again
Our perpetual chain

To accept and let go
Harder than you'll ever know
Watching as everything changed
Nothing will ever be the same

I see your pain, hush now, don't wane
For you are not mistaken
All the wonder
Happens to be
Just what we were
Sent here to feel

Vast memories to touch
A bittersweet air whispers
This worldly existence too much
Feeling the certitude fissure
All tangible to wither

You need to fade away
So I can truly see you
Show me the meaning
Of being alive

Nothing lasts forever
That's the beauty of it all
We give, we take
We love, we break
Too hard to recognize
The sweet, cruel pace of life

Watch you fade
Once here
See you now
Almost gone
Fading, I
See you now
