Transience

Such a transience now to human relationships. Even the people that should be in your life with some permanence, come and go with every whim. I think it is so easy to blame it on the internet/social media and the like but I'm not sure. I think those factors contribute to the situation. They create the ease of moving on, of giving an excuse. I feel more we've just lost the ability to be loyal to stick with people through hard times and it's just become the way to move on or only deal with people when a situation calls for it. Everything is too fast and to self absorbed when selflessness and compassion is called for, now more than ever. 

Evaporated

I just want to go home

But it is long gone now

Evaporated in the heat

Of several summers past

Merely a thing of memory

Living in sights and sounds

Occupying smells and feels

No longer a corporeal entity 

Wisps of what once was

Dancing like a mountain fog
