Matter

Solidity, is but the illusion of a moment.

Time renders all things to mist.

Nothing is as firm as it appears.

Why then are we startled by these facts?

Spirit, cannot be frozen or captured in stone.

Perhaps we were made for eternity.

And matter is not our natural state.

Gratitude, is the only proper response.

Everything is an unexpected treasure.

We are always living here on borrowed time;

We who can hold onto nothing, and have received all things.
