Mortal Immortal

by Pranab Ghosh / April 21st, 2019

Significance diminishes with years.
What was important yesterday
May not be needed today.

Significance diminishes with years.
What was essential yesterday
May not be even wanted today.

Significance diminishes with years.
What was fundamental yesterday
May not be cardinal anymore today.

But what stays becomes
Time-tested, immortal,
In the hearts of mortals.
