Golden Ember

Moments of gold
Ones to remember
Impossible to hold
Golden flakes of ember

Luminous dust
Twinkling hope
Unceasing gust
Of agile smoke

Won’t be attained
Can’t be secured
As with all good things
The lines are blurred

Inhale the haze
And hold your breath
The ethereal blaze
Warns of death
