Evanescence

like fleeting shadows in the dark
lingering in the light
you pass me by, a stranger
as if stopping by to say hi

our paths they crossed
we stopped

you, like a passing shower
the summer wind,
freely come
freely go

but

in your transience
there is beauty and
the birth of a memory

i shall remember

like fireworks that light up
in spectacular wonder
i close my eyes like shutters
of a camera
enraptured by the moment
that remains
as a sweet memory
fading away
