Ephemeral

Something that lasts only a short period of time. A blossoming flower, a cloud overhead, a rainbow. These things, in the human terminology of time, last not very long. However the same can be said of human life when compared to the existence of a rock, an ocean, a star.
Our lives are ever fleeting, constantly out of our own grasp. We are always waiting for that one moment where everything clicks and life seems perfect. How long will that perfection last though? Is perfection possible?
Do we live our lives in this constant struggle to find peace and happiness only to find ourselves at the end thinking "I had it all along but didn't see it right in front of me?"
