Elusive Feeling On a No Parking Sign

The elusive feeling
the one we cannot grasp
that floats free
then slowly fades
like an ember
that once was
part of something greater
something burning
bright
eternal
but snuffed out
so easily
so readily
where has that feeling gone
that feeling that
was so short-lived
that it had to be
spray-painted
onto a street sign
in order to prove
it was ever there at all.
