short-lived in reality
momentary ephemera
which please being too
delicate to exist holistically
unique dreams woven in fragile
flourishes to linger
mayflies in a shadowed
stream of consciousness
an eclectic evening’s rise
brightly lit fireflies in cavernous dark
tracing out harmonious lines
fuelling desire
I need these visions
of frailty, of temporality
like vestiges of memory
empowers me to write
crafted in words
recalling them clear

Themes like this are what occupy a large segment of Japanese culture and philosophy. I know it's rude to make requests, but more like this please. ;)
