indistinguishable

i am on a plane

and the starry skyline and the city lights on the mountainous earth

are indistinguishable

and it is breathtakingly beautiful

my camera cannot capture a single thing and that's how i know that it is truly beautiful

because it cannot be remembered

because it is fleeting

like life

beautiful

then it's gone

like a feeble candle

it's there

it shines

it takes your breath away

and then the wick runs out

and the moment has passed

the time is gone

it cannot be replayed

it cannot be captured

it is gone

beautiful

passed

gone

though the horizon and skyline are indistinguishable

it distinguishes like a candle's flame

from my memory

burned out

the moment has passed

the time is gone

it cannot be replayed

it cannot be captured

it is gone

beautiful

passed

gone

so many things in life are so precious

if you don't hold onto it cautiously

it is lost to the wind

and you can't get it back

the moment has passed 

the time is gone

it cannot be replayed

it cannot be captured

it is gone 

beautiful

passed

gone

i am a plane

flying towards a starry skyline and the city lights on a mountainous earth

my memory cannot capture a single thing

and that's how i know that my life is truly beautiful

because it cannot be remembered

because it is fleeting

beautiful

then it's gone

like a feeble candle

it's there

it shines

it takes my breath away

and then the wick runs out

and the moment has passed

the time is gone

it cannot be replayed

it cannot be captured

it is gone

beautiful

passed 

gone

this fleeting beauty 

in all living things

in life itself

it inspires me

and reminds me

that the only thing that matters

is for me to keep on keeping on

and to spread love and happiness 

on the way

and if i can't remember a single thing

it's okay

because i'm inspired by love and beauty

and the shortness of life

and hopefully 

i can inspire others to be inspired too
