This perfect moment
Slipping right on by
Already gone

I couldn't take it
Sorry
It didn't save it


Sorry...

The wine stains won't wash out
I hope you do soon, though.

The curse of mortality:
handing everything over day by day
Impermanence

Permanence
Could never be understood
By someone so temporary
Such as myself

I was the Hurricane that fondly blew on him
-the way you do your favourite old records

But he was a dandelion and
he was gone

some things are best enjoyed only at that moment. Don't blink, don't ask for a pinch because, by the time you believe it, Its already moved on.

“Home is where you hang your hat.”
How many of you have the hat bearer hung on temporary walls?
During intermittent crawls from house to home

How long did it take before you realized
you were searching for something
that was never lost

Did you travel the world
In search of something
that was always inside you

When you finally reached
the end of the earth.....
did you find a warm house
one that feels like home?
Or is it as cold as
the one
you were born in

Did you finally realize
filling the heart with temporary things
only leaves the mind to wonder
where your happiness has gone
