The blink of an eye—

One half of a breath,

A whisper on the lips,

This is the speed at which change occurs.

A flash may take too long,

A tick from the clock drags on.

Time is fluid…

A moment—

Just a moment

Is all that is required for everything to change.

One beat as life begins.

One exhalation marks an end.

It was but an instant—

Yet, profoundly,

We are changed.
