In an Instant

In an instant, life can change, Things get weird, and paths feel strange. A spark, a flash, it all can shift, And suddenly, you're set adrift. A word, a hug, a simple smile, Can make you happy for a while. One small thing can change the game, And nothing ever stays the same. A storm might come, the skies might roar, But calm can come again once more. Even when things seem scary or strange, In the end, it’s just a change. In an instant, life moves fast, The moments come, they never last. So live it all, no day’s the same— Life is wild, like a burning flame.
