Forever, In The Blink Of An Eye. Poem by Zander William Pearson

It's the brief moment
before dawn,
when you wonder
if the sun's going to rise?

Wonder if after all the time you've waited
through the darkness of night
enduring the chilling winds and
perpetual blackness,

Wonder if after all that time,
it was for something.
That second of second-thoughts.
An unbearable transition.

Lasting forever in the blink of an eye
The final yes or no.
The inevitable conclusion,
resolve.

You wonder if the sun's going to rise?
Then you remember,
the sun always rises.

The question then is,
when is it going to?
