Transience

s

Life once again reminded me of its fickle nature today:

Of the mortality of this shell, I reside in.

Of how, not now, not ever, I'll be ready to lose you.

And while I succumb to the heart-wrenching fear,

I'm reminded of all those memories of you.

As I stare across the vast expanse of life,

I realize that this fear makes me want to live more:

  • Feel every breeze through my hair, memorize it;

  • Watch that family play fetch with their dog and laugh;

  • Drink my coffee and feel its bitter-sweet nature like never before;

  • Enjoy the sunset and all the golden-yellow hues it brings along.

Life once again has reminded me of its fleeting nature today:

Begging me to live every day like it's my one and only.
