Leaving the pieces of tranquility, an ephemeral memory, soon to be forgotten

A Little Grey Dog

I saw him from a distance, 
Melancholic little soul,
Sad petit cute face,
Lost soulful dog,
With eyes so ephemeral so real.

           floating in the dark sky
    blinks and blinks, without being a star...

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

Slow Down

work the ground
the time factor rendering it automatically profound
give balance to these ephemeral lives
against the nonsense of the ether's electronic high fives.

Life’s ephemeral…
Birth
Death
Minute pieces of the puzzle
Lain carefully in each corner…
The rest,
Memories 
In an etheric knapsack.

Deep into the pool
A blue moon,ephemeral,
Below white-coated peaks,
Bleak and surreal,
The transient image too soon
Dissolves,and ripples into space,
As water though my grasp.
