In the hustle and bustle that makes up our busy days so many, perhaps too many people and places come and go and yet these linger in our memories, right?

Flash In the Pan
by Michael Romani

Our hearts thrown in the ring
Invincible in the songs we sing
Never knowing what tomorrows bring
We kiss goodbye to this modern love thing

Independent in her soulful mind 
No bets taken on the certainties we find
Books read into the late of night
Hating to know our friends are always right

Seen in ways that steel and refine
All those things we call yours and mine
Trespassed in the pages of our days
Hearts crack in their own ways

The some things that always change
A flash in the pan feeling comfortably strange
And yet completes us into our late nights
Spent alone reading by dimmed lights
