Fading

Rainbows fade,
Sunflowers wilt.
Their beauty
Only lasts
For a certain time.

The sun will rise,
Just to set.
The day ending
Whether you’re ready
Or not.

The young stallion,
Grows old and Arthritic,
In what seems like
One rotation around
The sun.

The heart breaks,
In an instant,
Without warning,
When the unexpected
Takes it’s firm hold.

Confidence,
Shakes and fails.
Causing doubts, disbelief,
That anything done or said
Will ever be correct.

Rainbows fade,
Sunflowers wilt.
Maybe to teach us
To enjoy what we have
While we have it.
