Seasons change
Even friends estrange
Mysteries unravel
To places we travel
Paths make a bend
Mistakes we amend
Cells mutate
In circles, we rotate
Rise in demands
Heck, even Universe expands
A different breath
From life to death
In these winds blowing fast
Does anything retain worth?
Your parents, your past,
Your very date of birth
** Posted for Friday Flash 55, hosted by the ultimate G-Man! 🙂 Go pay him a visit, and also check out the other amazing stories written in 55 words or less… **
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
Nice read. Pretty similar to how I write.
geee.. nice to hear that, my dear! Thank you…
Glad you enjoyed this one..
Now am off to read yours! xoxo
nice rhymes in twos and more…
loved the signature in the end… Cheers!!!
hehe..thanks, W! Loved the siggy myself! Found it quite a cool idea 🙂
i think the relationships we make along the way, though we can not hold onto them tightly are what keep worth..and after them, the memories…
Rightly said, B! And yet, it’s quite funny really… that of aaaaaaaaaaaaallll the things/people/events we come across in our lifetime, our birthdate, parents and past are the only ones that stay put!! 🙂
Amazing! Truly heartfelt. Love this piece! ❤
Aww..thanks, darling… so kind of you!!!
By the way, howz your book coming along ? Got check out the subsequent chapters…
Great poem about the only thing we can count on – impermanence. Really nice writing.
(I love how snow falls within your page.)
You said it, M!!! And thanks for the kinds words here.. I truly am very happy that you enjoy how/what I write… yaaaaaaaayyy!!
As for the snow flakes on my page, it’s a very WordPress thing.. they have this featured enabled till the 4th of January! I love it! 🙂
Enjoyed the poem and do think the signature is a very nice touch also. 😀
🙂 Thank you, Charlie… I think I am gonna make the signature a “permanent” thing here 😉
Worth is a subjective thing. Some people think a hefty price tag makes things more valuable, some dote on sentiment. Each has his own standard of measure. A thought-provoking 55, Kavita dear!
Thanks for your insights here, my friend… Worth is indeed too subjective a matter! And I sit right in between the abstract and the materialistic stuff! 🙂
Glad you found this one interesting, Eric… Thanks again… I really appreciate your comments…
(hugs)
love your 55,
witty words
your signature is cute…
keep smiling.
🙂
Happy Friday!
Yaaaaayyyyy… so happy you liked my new signature, Jingle !! I too kinda like the idea! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed my 55 too…
Take care, my friend!
Smile on…verse on..
Enjoyable take on impermanence, though one could argue that parents are no more permanent than anything else under some situations. Usually not a big fan of rhyme but it worked as kind of irony against changing rules (i.e. impermanence.) Interesting philosophy expressed in the poem. Piques thought in many ways, something I always appreciate. Sharp poem.
crb.
hahaha.. thanks for bearing with my rhymes here, crb.. it was very patient and kind of you! 🙂
As for permanence, well, what I really meant when I said ‘parents’ was the fact that you are born to a particular set of persons! I mean… no matter what, THAT fact can never really change… ofcourse, how and where one is raised, etc etc.. that opens up a whole new plethora of scope for change 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the read and found it thought provoking… these comments from you are invaluable to me!! Thanks again…
Very thoughtful and creative 55.
My 55 is HERE .
I wade around in the shallow end of the thinking pool.
hehheheh… I would still prefer wading over drowning! 🙂 Thanks for your kind comments here, MM… You rock!!!
I am happy you enjoyed this 55…
Have a great weekend!
constant change and constant movement..nice how you captured this in just 55 words..really enjoyed it
and following our haiku thread…smiles
nothing ever stays
it’s the change we should embrace
with wide open arms
Oooohh… loved your haiku’d reply, Claudia! Thank youuuu… It’s so true!!
Glad you enjoyed my 55…. Love and hugs… xoxo
Life to live, things to amend, loves to love
life is full – you said it so well my friend (as always)
moon smiles for a great weekend
Thank you, Moon my dear!! You are way too kind…
I really appreciate your comments and encouragement here!! (hugs)
And I am very happy you enjoyed this read..
Kavita…
What a wonderful post.
I loved your 55 My Dear.
Change is inevitible, thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Aww.. G, thankoooo! Like they say, change is the only constant! Clichéd…but so darned true too! 🙂
Glad you liked this piece, my friend… many hugs to you!!!
Truly a great 55! One to make me think. Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/young-love/
Don’t think too hard though, Teresa… things will still keep changing… 🙂
Glad you liked this poem though, my dear friend… and thank you ever so much for your encouragement ! YOU ROCK!!! xoxoxox
Lots of things do retain worth even in the face of change, but they tend not to be material things… Lovely poem and nice touch with the signature – I must look into doing one myself…
You said it, Ruth!! BINGO!!! What usually retains worth, is the abstract stuff we are surrounded with…
Thanks for your insights and your kind words here, girlie.. most sweet of you! I am happy you enjoyed the read…
xoxo
Beautiful poem. At least the memories from the changes in life leave a lasting impression.
I agree with the others, the signature is cool.
Oh.. you bet, Janna!! Glad you liked this one, my friend… thank for your insights here.. means a great deal to me!!
xoxoxo
Amazing !! liked it 🙂 so sensible yet so light to read 🙂
Phhheew… thanks for saying that, Nimua! Cuz I get real nervous when someone calls my stuff sensible!! But ‘light’ makes it all good … .:)
Glad you enjoyed this read, my dear… By the way, I have my January poem ready… will post it on Sunday! Yaaayy! xooxox
Dig your contemplations…felt.
Gee..thanks a bunch, Dasun… glad you found them interesting enough..
xoxox
a gentle repose of pondering upon our life’s paths and journeys…
from beginning to end…and then, perhaps around again…
well written for an easy flow… 🙂
Awww…thanks for the kind words here, my dear… Am so happy you see it this way too!! There certainly an odd permanence to change I guess…
I hope you are having a great year thus far, sweetie..
xoxox
What a beautiful creation… 🙂
“A different breath
From life to death”
I love these two lines so much…
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy !! Those are my fav. lines tooooo!! Thanks a bunch, Sumit.. you certainly brought a huge smile on my face with your comment here…
Very very happy!!
😀
everything changes yes, but somethings may remain same.
brilliant write as usual 🙂
Glad you agree with me, girl..thank you so much!!
Love ya!! Take care, and have a great weekend!! xoxoxo
It had to be someone’s birthday?! 🙂 Or so does it feel!!
Good one Kavi, and what was the worth to begin with.. ? As always, thoughtful! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season 🙂
hahahhaha…when I wrote this one, it really wasn’t anyone’s birthday.. but I must admit, a few days back, it was my own birthday! So I guess I did have it at the back of my mind when I was writing this one..
Thanks for your sweetness, girl…
And have a lovely year ahead!!
There are only a few things that are permanent: parents, past, birthday. In the end, these too shall pass.
Good stuff, Kavita dear.
Love the signature. I might try it too. Okay???? 🙂 I see Leo does it and Riika. You’ve all made it so attractive.
Hugs!
You said it perfectly, Jamie… In the end, it all has to pass anyway…
I am very happy you liked the essence of this poem, J… thankoo thankoo thankoo for all the kindness you have showered upon me here…. you are simply amazing person to know!!!
And yes, please GO AHEAD and try out the signature thingie… I loved it! It kinda adds some personality to the blog (or so I think :))… not that yours needs any! It’s already SUPERB as-is!
Hugs right back at ya, my sweet friend… xoxox
Loved the last stanza here – it is typically WOW and very Kavita-like 😀 xx
hehehehe… thanks, lovie!!
Now I am REALLY wondering what exactly is “Kavita-like” !!! 🙂 I take it as a compliment nonetheless! Thankooooooooooooo
xoxox
…well, I shall keep you guessing on that one Kavita…but be assured…it’s a GOOD thing!! 😉 lol xx
youuuuuu naughty li’l girl!! 🙂
