In A Flash
The clock gasped, a single breath,
Time folded like a paper crane.
In the mirror, a stranger blinked—
Eyes heavy with a fleeting name.
A drop of rain broke the silence,
Its ripple swallowed the sky whole.
In that instant, life collapsed,
Rebuilt itself, and claimed the soul.
A hand reached out, the world stood still,
The pulse of moments hung midair.
Was it love, or just a whisper
Of something once alive, now rare?
Before the thought could find its shape,
The second passed, a phantom’s flight.
An instant—fragile, fleeting, free—
Yet etched into eternal night.
