The temporariness of everything

The temporariness of everything
Definitely gives life a little more zing
Makes existing a bit more special
Because the journey isn't all that gentle

Not everything stays over for the night
Metaphorically of course, or quite
Right here, in this moment of yours
Your own timeline is on its' course

Well, the thing about being temporary
The concept is just there for all to see
Yet you can't capture the full essence of it
And you pick it up slowly, bit by bit

Sure, it's pretty but it can be scary too
There will be denial but you know its true
Experiencing life as it is once makes it nice
That's just for me, one time will suffice.
