Day dream

[via]

how can a blink change a life? 

a simple moment in time 

a nod of the head 

a crinkle in the eye 

a laugh that wakes the soul 

and i don't know where my feet are 

the footing that was once so sure 

has given way 

to deep swirling colors and changes 

that can't be explained 

i reach for the moment 

i pray that God will stop time 

if only we could stay 

if only things wouldn't change 

but time marches on 

and continues to change our lives 

with another blink 

and the fleeting memory is gone 

so i shut my eyes 

and hold my breath 

willing the moment to stay 

even if just for the evening 

even if just for this day dream
