A moment –

That was all it took

To change my outlook;

Or perhaps it was more than that,

Perhaps,

It was a lifetime,

And in traversing through mine,

I find myself gaining distance,

Moving farther every instant,

From everything that I have known

To be true.

Maybe it wasn’t you,

Maybe it was me,

Maybe it was a false belief

Planted as a tiny seed

In the depths of my troubled mind,

In a moment

So utterly transient,

And yet so momentous –

For it changed everything.
