A second’s blink, a pause in time
A minute’s quick, a brief delay
One moment life, next second death
A candle
Breath
Is Gone
Life is quick, as the quick and the dead
And life is short, of moments fast and long
A turn of the head
A wave of the hand
A smile, a kiss, a blink
And it’s over
No time
Use Life
Moment by moment
Precious sands running through cupped fingers
Breaths inhaled sharply, or let out in tender sighs
Laughter, tears, pleasure, pain
Second by second of individual memories
Hopes, dreams, worlds to win, crosses to bear
Love, Hate, Chance
All caught up in an instant
Life
Never forgotten by those still with beating hearts
Life
To be judged when the hearts stop
Gone
History accounts for itself
But only
Life makes changes
Live life
Moment by moment
Time Use chance
Accept love, change hate
Build
Live!
