Legacies and Limits

Mountains may crumble, but rocks endure,

Their steadfast nature remains secure.
 
Empires rise, destined to fall,
Their span too brief or none at all.
Legacies linger, shadows cast,
Echoes of right, or sins of the past.
 
Like a mortal bound to meet their end,
The universe walks a path it cannot bend.
Its time extends, yet fate is clear,
An endless cycle drawing near.
 
A tale of time, both vast and small,
The rise and ruin that touches all.
