In An Instant
In an instant the sun hid and rain fell
In that instant planets moved, as did the universe,
someone cried, another laughed , a door closed,
a heart opened, a goodbye, a hello, a birth, a death,
a bite, a kiss, a new beginning a never again.
There was a celebration and a mourning
while we strive to keep our balance on a narrow ledge.
