Life’s Wink


Life changes.

In a wink, a small difference

With extra blinks, we then realize

Sometimes it’s not what we want

-Pushing us to the brink –

A small stop would help us to think

Don’t remain only in your desires

Be open to Life’s wink

    I like the subtlety of this…life does offer pitfalls and opportunities in a wink…before we blink…
