In A Blink
Joseph Milenko Arnold 2008 (Arkansas)
In a blink of an eye the world can change, in the blink of an eye an end can come to rage. In the blink of an eye time goes by, in the blink of my eyes I can cry. In the blink of an eye the world could stop. In a blink everything can end, in a blink of an eye life is given and taken.
Life balanced on a bridge, wobbly and old as time itself. In the blink of an eye it can collapse and fall. Life can reach point whether it’s small or tall, little or big. Life is taken and given in a blink of an eye. Death can come to all in a big sigh. Some people have their hopes to high. In the blink of an eye they might die.
Time can slow down and speed up in the blink of any eye. Time can’t be bought with dimes, even if you try it a million times. Time is something that is stolen from us, the worst thing would be dying from a speeding bus.
