A flicker of a Second




Nothing is ever meant to be forever, we have, we taste,
it leaves, and we thirst for the wonder of it all...It was
lovely, so like a velvet night of glory. it lasted, lingering
through the night like music.

Now like a flicker that sparkles for a moment, the magic
has turned into sadness, leaving memories of what
could have been so beautiful, but time brought much
understanding, making all glorious gems lose there
gleam.

Why does music turn so sad when things of beauty
seem to change like the clouds in the morning dew?
Was it meant to last a while to taste the sweetness
of such vintage wine!!

For what cometh to one heart should never have to
leave, making it hurt crying without fault, touching
the flames may have burnt, but a pleasant burn, the
hurt came after the fire burned away the flames, now
only trees among the shadows of hurt do one see.

Not a song does one hear, they have left with the breeze
just a while ago when it kissed your cheek good-bye and
blew away softly in the sunset of a beautiful day never
to be forgotten...



(Love is a flicker of a second, life is infinite)

Such is the way of this world. It is called impermanence.
