Merildsmith is hosting Poetics at dVerse and bids us “I’d like you to think about impermanence, things that are transient, or things that have passed their time. If you want to stick to the seasons, nature, or the weather, that’s fine, but I’d like to challenge you to try to come up with something different or unusual.”
Constancy of Change
What do we hold on to
in a world where the only constant
is change
Words that spoke of love
passed and slipped away
with the impermanence of Spring
In a universe where
even brightest stars burn out
and skies remain empty at the loss
Who is to say what is eternal
and what is transient
hope still beats strong within my heart
For in this universe of transience
and temporal impermanence
only one thing remains sure
You and Me. Always.
The Best Thing that Ever Happened To Me ~ Gladys Knight

I am glad to hear that love has permanence.
