Ephemeral
Upon reflection, have you had a bittersweet experience of a powerful, brief connection?
Something so intense, meaningful, but ultimately temporary, that still left a lasting impression?
Impressions of sublime moments that burnt brightly and then suddenly disappeared.
Leaving behind only grief intermixed with happiness and reflection.
Title.
Ephemeral
(A lone voice whispers)
I met you like the thunderous rain meets wet leaves
Fast and so unexpectedly, that the rain grieves when it leaves
For soon nothing will remain when the sun comes out again
