strange

ach that strange rhythm,

when the world swirls and falls and your heart beats so loud you think it will break.

when each breath expands your chest but not your lungs.

dizzy and silly and scared and happy.

everything echos across the wood floor and time trickles slower.


mirrors and mirrors but we don't see ourselves...

the other's speck still blinds us.

the eyes daze and blur, but the hands--

strangely the hands have no need to rationalize..

the hands can remember that feeling even two hundred years from now.

oh Lord,

be my firm foundation.

transience
noun
the state or fact of lasting only for a short time; transitory nature.
i.e. "the transience of life and happiness"

summer showers/seasons/feelings/breath and existence... all are subject to change, and have no guarantee as to their length.

the grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but God your Word shall stand for ever.
