The angel says to the three year old
and the aging on their deathbeds,
to the victor and victim alike:
you will endure,
but not like this.

Passing.
Clouds that once were seas,
moved by winds whose nature is to move,
will shape-shift continually
as long as there is light,
and there will always be light.
