the moments that make up a life
are always in movement
ever fluid, constantly changing
and we know
the ripples in the pool
that are our lives
will one day no longer be visible
the echoes of our laughter
the memories of our tears
all alike will be enshrouded
in silence
this Summer Evening
perfect in splendor
soaked in truth and beauty
ripples now within me
and its echoes will remain
for as long as I do
for what is eternal in this life
is our transience


Well said.
Lovely, sweet and calm. I’ve tried storing up the tenderest memories for recalling in my dotage. I don’t seem to remember any of them even a year later. I hope they’re in there somewhere…
