Love, Life, Death
In a blink of an eye
You fall yet feeling good
Just before and all the time after
Joy fills all pain cracks
Dorment energy within ignites
Wildfire spreads in and out
Sparks start newborn paths
Dark clouds gather on the horizon
You pray for the winds to take it away
The more you pray, the harder it pours
In a blink of an eye
You fall, and pain cracks start to show
Fire dims out, and joy slips through the crack
The cracks are forever to stay
