In a moment we puncture the spirit of another
with a look, a gesture, and the turn of a lover

In a moment hearts are broken
By the very words we speak
By the expression of our faces
And the tears we use to speak

In a moment we make decisions
That decide the paths of our lives
Taking roads that deny who we really are
And hiding from the spies in our lives

In a moment we solicit an exchange
A piece of paper, a documented waiver
To change the course of our lives again

In a moment our world can end
Spinning, our own lives no longer our friend

In a moment the world can seen a dark place
A place unknown, no longer our own space
A world twisted, furled up and tight
No longer open to you, a world with no light

In a moment we decide if its worth the risk to try and smile
To make a connection to a world now new, for you recognize
That there are moments that still hold you.

In a moment you realise you are not lost
In a moment it beckons you to enter again
A place that’s  safe, a place your recognize
Good, pleasurable emotions from whom there is
No need to hide.

In a moment the world can change
Colours, rainbows and a loving exchange
Beauty appears in unseen places
And faces smile and offer to take you places

In a moment you decide its worth the risk
to love, to flirt, to kiss
To give yourself once again to another
In a moment to let you both discover
That roads taken were meant to be
A learning experience, a glimpse of a live that can be
