What This Is

Photo: (c) Jamie K. Reaser

This is a statement about things gone missing.

This is a reflection on beauty and how it is fleeting,

and how memories can never be true

to what we are gifted in any particular moment.

This is a call out to those still here, especially

those who know it. Those who are grateful.

This is an invitation to live. To cherish.

This is a reminder that you don’t get forever.
