Táto básnička je venovaná momentom, o ktorých každý vie, že sa dejú, ale neráta s tým, že sa stanú práve jemu. Pritom stačí zlomok sekundy, a život dvoch ľudí je už navždy iný. A môže sa to pokojne stať hocikedy, napríklad tam, kde sa odohráva dej tejto básničky… Dúfam, že na vás zapôsobí a želám pekný zážitok 🙂
A FLASH OF THE LIGHT
A flash of the light
into the shadows
a fraction of time.
A flash of the light
like rope of the gallows
tight for no crime.
A flash of the light
like rays from the sun
burning your heart.
A flash of the light
nowhere to run
falling apart.
A flash of the light
deep in your eyes
puzzled me so.
A flash of the light
the look on your face
nowhere to go.
A flash of the light
I did not see
until so close.
A flash of the light
what was to happen
nobody knows.
A flash of the light
you had the chance
you could have fled.
A flash of the light
standing so still
you turned your head.
A flash of the light
I hit the brakes
turning the wheel.
A flash of the light
I braced myself
as if not to feel.
A flash of the light
there was no way
I could have stopped.
A flash of the light
gone in a second
as your body dropped.
A flash of the light
as the car halted
coated in smoke.
A flash of the light
deep in the night
a life just broke.
A flash of the light
tears in my eyes
sweat on my neck.
A flash of the light
dead in the headlights
there was no way back.
