Is Also

The best thing about it
Is also the worst
As tangible as the wealth of dreams
Ephemeral as the ghostly snow
Starlings in the evergreens
Start of startling precognition
See yourself as someone sidereal
Smiles haunting your thoughts
Embrace the fleeing moment of now
The best thing about it
Is also the worst

A masterful offering from Yhe Salon. We at BBP found ourselves greatly intrigued by the title, then the refrain that brings to our birdbrains echoes of Yeats.
Our favourite aspect, however, is the imagery, the wordplay on starlings, and we thank-coo for bringing to our attention a word we hadn't known before, 'sidereal'. Initially, we read this as 'sidereel'! (We are silly like that.) Applause!
