Impermanence

rebellion_in_sanity

Staring at you,
They look but don't see.  
A warm feeling envelops you,  
In the lap of anonymity.  

 

A bubble of silence and serenity—  
A safe place,

Been the faithful dog to time,  
In the throes of infinity.  

 

Lapping waves—sounds hesitant,  
Seeming like offerings of apologies,  
Ripples in the pool of silence,  
In the midst of an ocean of eternity.  

 

Gentle strides  
On the shore of consciousness.  
Questions fleet through  
Like meteors streaking across the sky,
A dead leaf sailing in the breeze—  
Before the final goodbye.  

 

The sky lights up,  
But only momentarily.  
The transient spark of life  
Answers the question unasked—  
Life is glorious  
For being momentary.

    A very well written and beautiful write, loved it

    Brilliant!!! The last line of the poem (Life is glorious for being momentary) Psychologically, philosophically, spiritually naturally and scientifically a perfect vector of truth. The timing also set up just right poetically. As if a beacon of light on a stormy sea this one guides the reader home and home to a rocky shore. The realization that there is meaning in the end. One only need ask themselves what would this world be if everything that ever lived was immortal. What would an eternal roll coaster ride be like or eternal pain. For that it is a fave

      Life is a fleeting whisp of air that blows by in the breeze. Here suddenly then gone...and yes, it is glorious, among other things. Well expressed, my dear friend. This was beautiful! A fave from me.
