hold all things lightly
attachments cause suffering
let go when it’s time
life and death are the same coin
don’t fear metamorphosis
hold all things lightly
attachments cause suffering
let go when it’s time
life and death are the same coin
don’t fear metamorphosis
fading so quickly
beauty is here then is gone
those who blink miss out

some may call it illusion
less time doesn’t mean less real
old farmhouse bulldozed
homesteads become tract housing
the land lies unloved
rootless people blow away
scattered where the winds take them
visiting hometown
some places remaining the same
people rarely do
home is a place and a time
here and now for those awake
the glare from the sun
reflecting back off the road
hard to see the lines
driving not by sight alone
steady as she goes and trust
