I looked away for a moment

And everything changed

The sun shined a little brighter

The birds chirped a little louder

The flowers opened just as I touched them

It seemed to me like nothing could be fairer

I looked away for a moment

And everything changed

The sun had forgotten to shine

The birds sang such songs of woe

The flowers, they all died at my touch

It seemed to me like nothing was being fair

I closed my eyes and held my breath

Not ready to affirm whatever my heart felt

Such contradictions like a haze before me stood

How could things in a moment change

My heart thumped, my moments crumbled away

It seemed to me like the greatest irony

I looked away for a moment

And everything changed

I opened my eyes, this time with my heart

And there I found the deepest mystery

Life is what you think of it

And that, even that could change in a moment
