Blink of the Eye

everchanging world

 

Blink of the Eye

it's amazing just how fast things can change

how you can go from the king of the world

to feeling like a person who is thought strange

not understanding how things got re-arranged

the fall from the top can happen so quick

you turn your head for just a brief moment

it's like someone has played a magic trick

you're left standing without a walking stick

I guess it's because you can be blinded by the light

like the proverbial deer frozen in time

you thought you were doing everything right

but eerie strange things happen in the night

you will never know all the things that pass by

while for just a moment you rest your weary soul

things can return so there is no reason to cry

yes lives can change in the blink of the eye

Wisdom in your words. Life can change in a blink of a eye. One wrong statement. One very bad deed can mark a life forever. A outstanding poem. I like it all.
