It Happens In An Instant

It happens in an instant There’s barely time to react It’s like a bolt of lightning Rolling thunder, sunlight Silently screaming your fate It’s sent from the heavens There’s nowhere to run Nowhere to hide It slices through your body You feel paralyzed, ecstasy Everything moves quickly In slow motion, your pulse quickens You stare with your eyes closed It’s a kaleidoscope Vivid colors, mainly black and white Your entire life flashes before you Like a silent movie, it speaks loudly Like a bolt, it penetrates You never had a chance You’re in love ~Rick Berry
