'And Then A Blink...Its All Done.' Poem by Desiree Whitamore

eyes are closed because the light is shining.
A new life begins while an old one ends.
The hands that cover the faces of the past now move away.
no one wants to start over.
there’s a reflection in the water, moving with every single breath.
Two hands hold on to each other, almost afraid to let go.
Not knowing how fast the world will pass by, too many lives go to waste.
And then a blink
it’s all done.
