Listen ONLY!, To Hearts

Life and death
These, our only certainties

Every dead thing,
Once was

All that is,
Will eventually dissolve

Be it ambition
Existence
Knowledge
Or foliage

Any flourishing figure
Will eventually shudder

Leaves inevitably fall
Hence the seasons given name
And like leaves
We too, will descend

But from which limb
Will you branch and grow

Before you meet the end
The ground below

these answers decide
the goodbyes
its all in the exit

all those listening
deserve tranquil dismissal

for life
is but a lesson

those willing to study
never truly fail

Hear everything

Listen only, to hearts
