Transient – Virginia Drda

Sunlight inhale
day’s heart beating
nature’s time clock
pulsing
fleeting
sunset sigh
splashed through the sky
exhaled twilight
waves goodbye

spring wind whispers
breath in bubbles
bursting blossoms
day’s length doubles
firefly blink
firework gasp
sands
slip
through
midsummer’s grasp

coy striptease
of autumn trees
skeletons
bare
in cinnamon breeze

icy frostlace
frozen fingers
winter’s breathcloud
lightly lingers

floating snowflakes
heaven sent
we too
are transient

Write about what does not last.
