It was the dream you wake from. It was the paradise you journeyed to but never meant to be a home, as if to make a comfortable shoe.
For that it didn't last is what made it everlasting. It's affect on your spirit, your perspective, your core was forever changed just for having visited.
It was that incredible place you got to visit for a while, that you got to feel elated and inspired by for a moment in time. Yet it lingers in heart, even after you've left and gone home.
It was never meant to be captured, to be held onto, to be the everyday. It was meant to be that one amazing experience that imprinted a tattoo upon your soul.
Let it be that which it was; a beautiful moment. Let it be neither captured nor contained, not longed for or saddened by its fleetingness. Let it be wild and freely dancing in the cosmos of time.
Simply be thankful you got to feel it and be its effect in forward motion. For it was never yours to capture!
Sincerely,
Handsomely Humbled
