Transience. A moment long.
Much to brief, for prose or song.
It can be myriad things:
this -rarest- celestial spring,
some see death, and others, birth;
brilliant skies, or shadowed earth.
Baited breaths exhale, at peace,
-when both sound and sunlight cease-
as this day turns fast to night
then returns to watchful eyes.
Time and space still, march along.
Transient -moments- now gone.
