Transient

Quemis

I've befriended the mouse that lives in my room.
The ghosts in the shower,
The grey sky of noon.

A cadency hides in the songs of my storm.
The passing of time,
The riddle of form.

Haunted by the tide, each grain of sand knows -
Permanence is akin
To warm winter snow.

No moment or place where a static resides,
Save for fearful hearts -
Where change merely hides.

I've befriended the end built into the start.
The shadow of death
Lends life to the heart.
