Some how, in that instant,
       
        I took a breath.
                                        And it all just --
stopped.


I wouldn't realize what

        happened
                -- until seconds later.
But, in that account

        those few passing beats
would feel like --
                                        minor eternities.


        Somedays,
I wonder if the sunlight
                -- wants to stay.

        I know I would
want to stay, that is. Here, on today.


Despite, Day does die.

        Nonetheless, Night now nears.
Only a time-lord could --
                                        escape this,
        and even he cannot slow
the shift.



I looked into a minor eternity,
and, in that instant,

        I took. -- a breath.
                                        It all simply stopped.


The brilliant escape artist --
                                and the illuminant noontide,
brought me out of my broken
        heart-
        -beat.

This adrenalined affair was truly --
                                        A-s-t-o-u-n-d-i-n-g.
