Short Ephemerality Poems

engage as needed
and then release
roles enacted
vivaciously 

why would we cling 
to the dream unfolding
recognising its ephemerality...

Time passes 
The world changes 
People come and go
Like yesterday's footprints
Covered in the falling snow.

the milestone attained
a benediction bestowed
so in midst of celebrations
bliss drenched soul presence 
recognising ephemerality 
pulsates in nonchalance 
as during a downturn
watching life unfold...

if attributes of form 
are diminished
will presence
not contract
and so seek
restoration of joy
enabled by aliveness
thus signalling bondage
to ephemerality of dreams
instead of imbibing the truth
bliss that does not come and go...

weep not for me dear hearts
as I burn, I burn
rapture unbound surges forth
as nodes within churn 

what is death but an effervescence 
resurrecting as the new
let us together celebrate ephemerality 
of the fresh morning dew

mixed emotions arise within 
we know not where lies their origin
perhaps subtle smells trigger memory
the offering is a lucid dream like enchantment 
within which we frolic in childlike delight
recognising clearly it’s ephemerality ...

*** I am simply visualizing it as a possibility***






                                             Virtual Existence
  
          Death might simply be the spiritual validation of the virtual reality


      realm we might be in the midst of, and the ephemerality of all that exist

The Autumn crocuses sway
amongst the shadows of the pine trees
The air is resonant with smoke
As the buddleia dies down

August as thick as musk
Blackbird came a calling
about Autumns ephemerality 
Somber yet always lonely

The impending storms
ignite the skies
Finding an amber talisman
To acknowledge the epiphany

August you are a gust
floating downstream
you are about  heartfelt loss
Tameness is not spoken...

you are about  heartfelt loss
Tameness is not spoke
callousness is her hallmark…...
