One Second

In one second,
Life begins
And ends
The living muse
On what to call home
While realizing that they had it all along
But still constantly searching

Compulsions mess with minds
People long for their own way
And will fight for it
With a terror that scare many away
The seconds passes and it subsides
Soon to be in imaginary books
But never forgotten

Community forms
And continues to give, always digging the well deeper
Discovery occurs
Meaning is found
Bit by bit
And lost almost instantly
And the cycle continues

The heroes conquer their territory,
And get bored,
Become normal again
And the cycle renews

The seconds mean a lot
In the mind of an actor
Not much,
In the mind of a businesswoman
Until it’s found out that time is more than money

As the seconds pass
The day goes on
Never to be forgotten
Always to be remembered
Until the clock fails

But hope is never lost
