The Trampoline

The trampoline squeaks,
The springs groan
Sighs of contentment
Settling in for a show.
Two girls
Chatter under purpling skies,
Deep secrets,
Shallow gossip.
Nothing in the spinning world
Except two friends,
A snapshot in a rapidly changing planet.
A moment of forever passing
Through the hourglass of time.
Falling quickly,
Without a word of apology,
No trace of regret.
The picture changes,
Fades,
Changes again.
The essence is captured,
Captive for eternity.
