Fleeting Grace
By: Chase Walker
In the quiet garden of life,
where dreams so softly tread,
each fallen petal tells a story
of both the living and the dead.
The morning dew whispers tales
of days that swiftly pass us by,
A symphony of moments,
beneath the vast, eternal sky.
Life dances in the sunlight,
a tender, fleeting grace,
A canvas painted daily
in time’s relentless chase.
With every breath, a masterpiece,
a transient, glowing spark,
illuminating the journey
from dawn until the dark.
Yet with the setting sun
comes the gentle pull of night,
A reminder of the cycle
in the fading of the light.
Death, the silent gardener,
tending to his somber task,
adorns the earth with memories
in twilight’s velvet mask.
For in the heart of sorrow,
where shadows softly weep,
lies the beauty of existence
and a love that runs so deep.
The cycle of beginning
and the quiet end of strife,
intertwined, a tapestry,
the bittersweet of life.
So let us cherish laughter,
and each tear that we have shed,
for in the dance of life and death
our souls are gently led.
To understand the mystery,
the art of letting go,
Is to embrace life’s sweet sorrow
in the fading afterglow.
