OSI - Transience or Permanence

A rainbow lights the sky
and then fades
but I see it still

You came to me for a time
lit my life, set me to dreaming
You too were beautiful


It has been a good while since I participated in One Single Impression, but check it out for other poets visions of transience or permanence.

I wonder how it is we see what has vanished. Our minds move through time at their own rate.

These were lovely to read. Thanks so much for joining us this week.

What do both of them mean transcience and permanence

Sian said...

Sara: Somethings...and some relationships... are transient, but the beauty that they give remains with us

It is strange how something that disappers we are still able to see the image. Very nice.

i think the last line would be cooler if it was 'you were too beautiful'.
Too beautiful to behold/contain/maintain/last.. bollocks like that, i think its good.
