Embers tossed into the air
flames of yesterdays
to shine, sashay and flicker
upon the wind's kiss,
turning one last time
before the sparkle dims,
the radiance of the moment
as brief as some lives lived,
like the glowing embers,
time gives what it takes away.

Such lovely verse here, with excellant description and a true piece of wisdom to be found...Bravo!

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
