Fleeting/ One Single Impression


As I watch the sun slip
towards the horizon --
daylight’s finale wedged between
that which has gone by and
that which is to come --
the sun’s glow pierces
the here and now with bliss,
and I wonder
how it is that the now
is forever on the move,
ever fleeting, ever changing,
yet eternally in the present.

    indeed, in someways that which was most ephemeral makes the longest lasting impression upon us.

    An infinitessimal moment of beauty can brighten a dull life or a dull day years later.
    What a brilliant sunset and photograph!

    The anomalies of time perfectly expressed. And the photo is stunning.

    Love the contemplative, almost mystic, tone of this; lovely sky, too!

    Wow is the first word that comes to mind. I wonder this, too. Ever changing, ever present--like us, I suppose!

    I love to contemplate the passage of time. We can only live in the present and your poem carries this idea throughout. Lovely.
