Evanescent

Dew drops
Flower petals
Seashells
Teacups
Tree houses
Blanket forts
Hugs
Sleep
Dreams
Iridescence
These kinds of things
Make me happy

But
Dew drops melt as the day goes on
Flowers wilt and die
Seashells are swept away by beating waves

Teacups slip and shatter
Tree houses fall at the first hurricane
Blanket forts don't last
Hugs end
Sleep is fleeting
Nightmares chase away dreams
And iridescence is nothing but thin oil on top of mud

Is all beauty so
Evanescent?
