Gliterati

glimpsed
   from afar

voices murmur
            indistinct
eclipsed
in stillness

all desire
              to compete
or
emulate

            begone
such ambition

modesty remain
                      stay close

Like fireworks, Glitterati flash then are gone. Those who are emembered are the ones whose kindness, joy and generosity live on creating legends in enduring models! Nice one Brian!

Aah, The Glitterati - Fickleness personified. Legends in their own lifetime. Is there no beginning to their talent? :) Disclaimer - My thoughts only. Great piece Brian.

As ethereal as the morning mist,Gary sadly so overpaid too.
