Rapid Shift
December 5, 2014
irst I'm here
Then I'm there
Not a second between do I have to spare
A moment up
A moment down
A fleeting smile turned into a frown
First I see hope
Then I turn to despair
I try to grasp the fleeting moments
But all I grab is air
And it slips between my fingers
Not a moment does it linger
Before it starts again
I end up back here
And turn back there
Brief glimpses guide my way
I have no choice to stay
First blinding sunshine! Then torrential rain
Those are the brief glimpses
As the earth shifts once again
