Beauty

With ascending sun,

fade away dews, silently, 

leaving behind

no traces

of its loveliness fleeting 

.

Pearlescent raindrops

kiss silken petals, 

blossoms blush, in its glory,

submissively then droop, 

wither with shifting winds

.

Iridescent arch 

of divine brushstroke,

stretching end to end 

adorns azure sky,

elusive hues  

melt away soon
