100 Poems in 100 Days Part 15

 

June 29th, 2015  15) Ephemeral

Happiness when clutched smotheringly 
to the bosom seems to bloom and wither
in the beat of a birdly wing

and looses its value. Uncherished,  as though
food has lost its purpose once past the pallet
giving nothing of nutrition but all the

discomfort of indigestion. The ruler looks
long when held parallel to the eye
but withers to a sliver when shifted

to perpendicular. So is time a matter
of perspective changing what is 
ephemeral to eternal and back

by refusing to move on.
