Bm Bm Poet Rhyme

In the Blink of An Eye

In the blink of an eye; you appear... I look back;
In the blink of an eye, you are gone. 

Like a piece in your game, you so carelessly play;
Knowing not, your not more than the pawn.

All your lies?  Is it real?  Is there life deep in there?
Is there truth in your life?  There at all?

There you go - running fast; I glimpse back...
There you go; first you trip, then again start to fall.

Are you blind?  Can't you see?  Is your sight all but gone?
Did you lose all your cares long ago?

For your head?  Can't it sleep?  On the go must you be?
Why so blind, to what I know you know?

Yet you run; pushing on;  Gaining speed as you go...
Selfish minds hinder your gift to see;

Look around...slow your pace; Take a breath - let it go...
Saddened truths?  Yourself you hate to be.
