blink of an eye

One second near
The other far

One minute on my couch
The other in a car - (already kinda far)

One hour full of healin'
The next reopens a scar - (already really far)

One day so close
The other strange and bizarre - (really, very far)

One life full of hellos
The other only au-revoirs - (gone - too very far)

One moment, a pen and paper
Is yet all we really are...

I like these musings on time and space! You have written a great and beautiful poem, applying the philosophy of wise and ancient meditators. Regards, Hugo
