Blink of an eye poem.

THE BLINK OF AN EYE

What if we had
slipped through the cracks?
If time had proceeded or receded
and space had not allowed us
to encounter its perfect rhythm?

Would you forever be in my heart
and would my longing destroy my spirit?
Would your life be less than good yet accepted
through spoken commitment?

So many loves missed by turning
the wrong corner
traveling down a one way street into
a life of remorse where nothing is wrong
yet nothing is right and emptiness as a cavern
is never filled.

Life is relived with you
because you were there.
You were on the edge of proceeding,
minutes away from settling
when time stopped
and in the blink of an eye
made a place for us to enter.
