This eyed and strutting vapour,
this you, and me, and other
apes the solid soil
and shape of weather
well enough to train us
that we matter, being matter.

ephemeral true
both me and you and all who
once wore solid skin

You've captured so much with so little with this gem.
I often struggle against this feeling and wrote this that you may also enjoy

Something simple and deep for a change . . . This one too is about 4 yrs old now

VAPOR

Man is but a vapor
A wisp of cloudy air
He lingers for a moment
And then he is not there
