Impermanence of Everything Material

For a moment saw I a river flowing.
For a moment saw I no bridge or means of crossing.
For a moment saw I a bush all flowers,
For a moment saw I nor rose nor thorn.

For a moment saw I a cooking hearth ablaze.
For a moment saw I nor hearth nor smoke.
For a moment saw I the mother of all the Pandavas.
For a moment saw I an aunt of a potter's wife.
