IN A MOMENT’S SPACE Is not, in fact, man just a slave of time? Upon his own birth he has no control. He’s conceived in the space of a moment, And in a moment he’s gone from the world. There are many moments when life itself Is altered in the twinkling of an eye. Two strangers meet and exchange a mere glance, Lifelong love gets bonded in a heartbeat. Earth shakes and golden palaces crumble. Sea churns and breaks the mightiest of ships. What was lofty comes down in a moment. Truly it has been said pride hath a fall. The course of life is changed in a moment A trickle can become mighty torrent. * Written in iambic pentameter. * Submitted to "Invalid Item" , “Kansaspoet Contest” • REQUEST—While reviewing, please copy and paste the following in your review: This is a review for “entry:476464".
