Fleeting

Life vibrant and juicy

Splashes in splendor for us

Enjoy while you can

Steal its sweet nectar

Breathe in its breathlessness

Soon it will be gone


Scars of time and grief

Will wither away its brilliance

And wrinkle its face

Soon to join the fallen

Fading to obscurity

Silent and scentless

Droop not in distress

Yet

Steal from time its blessings

Before it is too late
