Fake glimmers

"Fake Glimmers" is a poem about the fleeting nature of life, relationships, and wealth.

I have watched friends turn into foes,
and seen riches vanish into nothingness.
Everyone with a soul,
everyone with a vow,
is temporary and mortal,
disguised as glimmers.

Not that I mind these worldly things.
I often think about entirety;
there, death nears to cling.

Not that mind—
For always, it's behind.
