FLEETING GLIMPSE
I know, you remember this smell.
You remember this sound too.
When you were alone,
you felt something,
you saw something,
maybe you do not know exactly what,
but you caught a fleeting glimpse.
Correct? Just for a second, you saw
that light out of the corner of your own eye,
am I right? Was it real? Or was it the face of fate,
that seemed to fit just like a mask?
The second slipped by and you know
in due time something will happen,
the seeds were sown and they
grew slow but did not remain alone.
