Day dream

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
