One moment How long can a moment be? Tick, tock, tick, tock, The hands fly by, buzzing, whirling, flying, slowly "In a moment," they cry, always thinking of an excuse, "and I'll be right there!" One moment. How long? Tick..tock..tick..tock In a moment, a kiss could end In a moment, a life could be saved In a moment, a tear could be cried "Wait one moment," they say, always telling you to wait One moment. Why should I wait one moment? Why should I listen then as now? Tick...tock...tick... In a moment, I would be crying And I couldn't wait a moment To stop To listen To wait For you? "I'll be right there in a moment," they say, and never seem to come back One moment. Where are you? Why have you left me? How long with this moment last? Ticking away, tocking away You can't stop the sand from falling "Be with you in a moment," they whisper, too quiet, too loud Too everything but not here Now. Tick....tock.... One life, one moment One bat of an eye and a life is gone How long is a moment? Can you tell me the time? When will you be back? "One moment." Too long Too much ...tick... Not enough. |

Wow, I enjoyed this a lot! *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
