Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
to get creative with the word ‘evanescent’.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s my take.
What’s here will be, too soon, what was;
the now becomes the then because
all beauty bows to nature’s laws –
evanescent, without pause.

Her voice was like velvet; I love female singers with a lower range like hers. Thanks very much, Lois. Enjoy your evening.

Her voice ruled supreme. Maybe what we hear as new today are echoes of the past, refined and combined with age. 🥃🍷Cheers to another new year!
