The Ephemerality Of Beauty
Inspired By Randy Wayne Jellison-Knock
The visceral fear of my evanescence
the vast fleetingness of my being
Have grown with me through adolescence
my unending need to be seen
Time moves along like a transient
momentary moments piercing the mind
Lost in the arms of enchantment
where promise and hope are aligned
Existential evidence leads me to believe
there is much more to know of existence
Delving into the parts still unseen
the heart and soul and what they consist of
The need to belong, while standing apart
being known beyond those that surround you
Needing to tear down the ramparts
letting the power of beauty shine through

Beautiful response, Kelli. My favorite lines? "Lost in the arms of enchantment where promise and hope are aligned" & "Needing to tear down the ramparts letting the power of beauty shine through" I cannot think of a single thing you have written, Kelli, where you did not succeed magnificently in accomplishing both of these.
"The need to belong, while standing apart". Loved this line the most!
A beautiful way to see things.
