Vanish Into Thin Air

A rabbit in a magic hat The moons silvery sliver, slides behind the veil of dotted light, as the man on it, hides his face from our sight Flowers from their stems Leaves , which once were green and full of life, become dry, and fall off as they wither. Snakes as they slither underground, under water, or up a tree. Money, if you’re not cautious, nothing is ever free. Children, who grow, and leave home Musicians on the road, as they roam Buildings made of brick and steel eventually will fall under the builders zeal A star, once bright and strong, whose fuel, is now long gone, will collapse and fall in upon itself The spiders web of lacy silk A plate of cookies and a glass of milk Food, once prepared and shared CHOCOLATE, IF IM AWARE OF IT SITTING THERE ! Love, once you’ve fallen out Grey skies, once the rain has gone Hero’s, who, once were strong Democracy, if we wait too long A ring, a jewel, a television show Our perception of these things is short lived, compared to the storied histories they’ve lived The sun, below the horizon line, once the day is done Soon you find a new one has just begun A breath, once held, is soon expelled A bird from its nest, a smile from a face..... Nothing ever really vanishes, it just changes shape, transforms, and then moves on to another state Energy is never lost It just lies in wait......until, such time, as it is acted upon.
