Ephemeral

A five minute fad or one week wonder; fame for a quarter of an hour... Fleeting images.. shadows in the sun, vapour of the morning dew.. . Petals of a flower

An analogy perhaps of our own mortality. Or simply a lovely tribute to short lived beauties of nature. Either way, a gem of a poem. Love, Shar

The age-old lesson...here today, gone tomorrow...we must keep the beauty within our heart in fond memory. ...Carrie

This is a beautiful and thought provoking piece, Brian "Rock of ages" is brought to mind as I read this. The only thing that is not fleeting in the end! One of my favs. Thank you for sharing this poem. I see so many other ways to interpret it! Lov, Robin
