Fantastic poems

My prayer to impermannce.

"The only permanence in life is longing."

人生において唯一永続するものは憧れです。

Jinsei ni oite yuiitsu eizoku suru mono wa akogaredesu.

Love these tanka poems. And I always enjoy learning a new word or two. Today's discovery: alanine. What a lovely melodic, albeit strictly scientific term!

Thank you for sharing. Please allow me to respond with an Haiku on whales:

Do whales ever cry?

their tears flow—immortal nights

deep into tides
