Fleeting echoes in the sky

We all leave some kind of mark on the planet, some evidence that we were here, that we mattered.

But even memories, like contrails and clouds, are fleeting.

Soon enough, the winds will blow, or some other cocktail of forces - or simply the passage of time - will erase even these echoes of what once was. Or of whom.

And the brilliant blue sky? It’ll be some other color or shade or texture before the light fades for good.

Doesn’t make what’s here, now, any less meaningful or precious, mind you.

Just reminds us to hold onto them - the memories, and the people who make them - even more tightly for as long as we have them.
