Mist

We are but a mist
One short breath away
From eternity’s open door
Yet no man knows the day

A slightly tinder wisp of smoke
A light yet slender trace
When spoken with the breath of time
Keeping steady pace
Never slowing down
Passing quickly by
Here today, gone tomorrow
In the blinking of an eye

Life is but a mist
A shadow so it seems
A slight remembrance in the heart
The fading of a dream
