A Lifetime in Seconds

The minutes tick by endlessly
Each second as long as a lifetime
Memories of the days of yore pour in

Joys, successes, triumphs
Relationships, friends, family
Failures, mistakes, sins

A conscience as clear as crystal
But as cloudy as a stormy sky
What is this?

Smile as the thoughts of loved ones pass by
Cringe as the memories of failures pierce the heart
An entire lifetime in five seconds

A tingly feeling in my arms
Hairs standing tall on the back of my neck
My life is flashing before my very eyes



And I cry
