Will Be Here/ When I No Longer Am

As I walk I suddenly think that the trees and houses of Mishmar Ha- Am street Will be here When I no longer am- But then I wonder When it will come for them? Twenty years? Fifty? a million? ten million? A trillion? More? Eventually inevitably it will come- All things come to an end even non- living ones - All will end All will die- One day the light will not shine on our earth And one day too the sun itself will be a different darkness And beyond that all we can know and dream- Death is the master and will end all- How I can contend then with the sorrow of this? I do not know- God Alone may know how to contend with it- But then God must know what no one and nothing else does How to never let the Ending come.
