Fleeting

by Jared Winkler

Do I want to live forever?

Yes

But there is no good without evil.

The world is only so beautiful
as the short time we can spend with it.

Let not "forever"
destroy these great moments.

I am not eternal.

Beauty is only beautiful

because

Beauty is fleeting.

Congrats on POTD. I like that this poem pretty much sums up every Shakespearian sonnet ever without hurting my eyes.
