whispers (a poem)

The picturesque autumn view of a beautiful golden sunrise. A dense fog covers a mountain valley with gold-colored trees lining the foreground.

everything is here
for but a moment

like a whisper
half-spoken
nearly existing

vanishing
in the soft light
of a new day

life
knowledge
relationships
love

imperfect bonds
held by promises
impermanent

people
places
things
experiences

by their very nature
transient

hold each person
each moment
with loosened grip

for in a breath
they are gone.
