No matter how we try to cleave
To the lessons of our masters
Change is unavoidable
As sometimes is disaster
Those interwoven wisdoms
Wrapped so tightly ’round with care
Can be snatched apart by life
And after many years, threadbare
So cling tightly to the swatches
That can stand the test of time
For that is what can warm you
When you’re moving past your prime
Begin to weave your wisdom
As soon as it’s attained
And through the grace of time itself
Perhaps it shall sustain
