Evanescent

Like a breath of air
Rising to join the clouds
Like a snowflake
In the palm of my hand

Evanescent

Like a wolf's howl
Searing like a shiver
Like a teardrop
Wiped away forever

Evanescent

Grasping fingers
To no avail
Like smoke from the ashes
I try to embrace it but it drifts away
Unconcerned

Evanescent
Momentary happiness
Singular joy
Ephemeral oblivion

Intruder! Reality
Infringing, separating
Time
The moment wanders

The dying embers
Remember the heat
Remember the passion
Unforgotten but lost

Evanescent

I remember.
