Member-only story
Eternally Ephemeral
Everything is fleeting
A one-way subway ticket
A tear wiped from your eye
A text I sent you yesterday
That somehow made you cry
The beauty of a butterfly
The first steps a baby took
A dewdrop shining on the grass
A fleeting, confused look
A postcard from anonymous
A harsh word said in haste
Perhaps a lustful one-night stand
Each time you cut and paste
A day of rain that breaks the drought
A phone call from a friend
The vacation you have longed for
A love story that ends
Skimming stones across a stream
A game of seek and hide
A comedy that made you laugh
A dear pet that has died
A post on Medium you read
A poem that you just penned
That catchy song that’s in your brain
An email you must send
A superseded note or coin
A letter with a stamp
A love heart carved upon a tree
A twenty-four-hour…
