Threads of Smoke


Threads of Smoke

Life.  Death.  Defining time.

Moments gone before recognized,

cherished only in their departure.

There is no holding them. 

There is no conveying them.

We see them only as fading images,

each already past,

leaving its dimming imprint,

dissolving to wipe the sand clean,

making room for the next experience,

a curious assemblage of rapidly fading images

sewn together with wisps of smoke

to create what we call

our life.
