Last week’s Daily Post Photography Prompt is transient. Due to strolling through the gardens and other enjoyable outdoor pursuits, I turned in at the last moment… sigh. Okay, I forgive myself 🙂
For this prompt, I could not help but be inspired by the trip we took this past weekend up to the mountains. We rewarded the kids for all their hard work this year by taking them on a boat ride around the lake. While I also took many beautiful scenic photographs, I could not help but be entranced by the quickly changing clouds and the revolution of the waves as boats passed by. Beyond all this, was the quickly fleeting reflections of clouds and sunlight skipping across the water. I could not help but share…
Have you wondered the transience
of every breathing moment
every cloud that passes
and every rolling wave
there is a pause of silence
somewhere in the stillness
that quickly slips from our fingers
should we blink or close our eyes
and the moment is swept away
fleeting, like the waves’ ferocious
crash upon the shore
and that uncertain quiver
of clouds passing
reflections dancing
across the waters’ surface
as sunlight glistens
like sunken jewels
trapped beneath
the murky waters.
Soon, the day shall
close her eyes to sleep
and night’s curtain
shall fall upon the stage
where new lights – star lights
shall light the path of our wandering
until the sun dares rise again.
Each day is different
yet each day is the same –
a silent crawl toward permanence
in a world of transient dreams.
