Fleeting

Some days will be good; some days will be bad — Some days you get 5, some days you get 9; When you get 9; you get excited; when you get 5, you get sad. Don’t take success to your head, and don’t take failure to your heart. How do you stay calm when things are going against or for you? …

They always say if it’s meant to be it will. I found that optimism as my personal mantra when younger. The ability to look at a problem and let it untwist itself on its own accord. No need to force its acquiescence, just observe. If that person was truly offended…

A poem — How fleeting this world is Today is morning Tomorrow will be evening Just close our eyes for a moment And everything changes in space Everything blooms first Then the leaves fly Our thoughts are one So where do the years fly We all hurry and run Still wasting our moments Deceiving our dreams…

EPHEMERAL FLASHES Our world is filled with ephemeral flashes And life itself is a fleeting process. A flower’s beauty and fragrance Fades with the setting of the sun. Awe at the sight of a meteorite That dies at the blink of an eye. Taste of ice cream so delicious Instantly melts as your mouth closed. Moments of bliss in a lover’s arms Performed in an evanescent dance. The birthing pains of a woman Forgotten at the sight of her son.

hopes and dreams unending flash brilliantly against a rainbow. effervescent luminescence blinds their hearts; and wicked bliss numbs their soul until the tempest. and on winds of doubt, storm and shadow break unto night. but love hovers safely, tethered, like a kite. such is the way of dreamers. such is the way of love.
