The Ephemeral Glow

Life is in charms abound in the lilts of transience 
      But its trial in pursuit of eternal existence
              But for its ideals of excellence
               But for its goals of eminence
      That lives ever to conquer time-power flow
That means to shine brightly in the celestial glow

Dews strewn on the blades of lush green grass
     In quest of embrace with sunrays in moss
             They shine like stars to twinkle
             And like pearls only to sparkle
    But gleams to shatter all glooms temporal
Eventually trickle down to prove all ephemeral

Flowers in bloom on boughs in time endless stream
   Fondly satiate soon their long cherished dream
           Only to sprinkle their all fragrance
          Only to purvey their nectar-essence
    For all but fall on their own on the dear earth;
Perish to break the ties of all near and dear for mirth;
