Beauty in the Fleeting

There’s a place in the sky where the sun hits
that brings beauty to the on-looking eye
halfway to kiss the horizon line.

Where moments passed and moments to come
it will no longer rest. Where if you look
down for a moment it’ll surely be gone.

It’s as if the beauty of things
sometimes comes
from their fleeting.

Like the lingering warmth of a lover’s touch
or the exchange with those lover’s eyes
that last night before morning comes,

and those lovers part their ways
a moment together encased as yesterday’s
now is surely gone.

It’s as if the beauty of things
sometimes comes

from their fleeting.
