Life is Fleeting


A fleeting world

she will die

A fleeting song

last chord

A fleeting beauty

will whisk away

A fleeting sense of content

adversity awaits you

A fleeting sense of pain

pain is mortal

A fleeting heart

it's last beat

A fleeting desire

unrealistic expectations

A fleeting light

deathbed sun

Life is fleeting

for all

Stop acting like its not

live likewise.
