In an instant it all stops
A drop instantly bursts on the ground
Instant death of an eagle in the sky
Plummets to an instant stop on the ground
Instant connection to the earth
You know and instantly you're happy
A hole through your heart and instant blood
Dying until you're instantly dead
Pause til you instantly move
Your voice is instantly heard
Before it instantly stops
Burning fire slows until its instantly out
Gaze into a mirror until you instantly see yourself
The clock ticks instantly one second after an instant
A gray hair instantly falls out
A tree instanly dies and in another instantly sways, instantly falls, instantly stops, rots and is completely gone in another instant
Confused until the instant you understand
In hale a cigarette with an instant pull
Its cancer will hurt in another instant
In an instant we will all die
And our lives went by in an instant blink of an eye
Instantly look back on how it went
And in an instant is no more
Repetitious drum beat one instant after another
Instant vibrations on a guitar string instantly plucked to make an instant sound to fill that riff at that instant
Instantly done
A bird instantly chirps
I instantly hear
And this natural music is instantly gone
Instantly said
Instantly written
Instantly saved
Or instantly dead
Each and every word you say is instantly heard
Before the instant you finish saying
Rise one instant after another
One instant after another creates instant motion

And...instantly a success! Wow the instant the inspiration flows into you, within an instant the jewels flow instantly out. What instantly impressed me about this one was the imagery, and how good a job was done here to show how interrelated everything is...instantly.

Haha nice work GIS, reminded me of lightening. And of pressing fastforward on a video, and then pressing stop. So that you have a good chance to take in all the detail before it speeds past you.

Instantly genius.
