The Tale of a Minute

I spent a minute today,
gazing at the infinite flies
dancing to the radiance of a street light.


I spent a minute today,
watching little innocence
scuttle up to their parents' arms.

I spent a minute today,
to take a road seldom taken,
in hope to listen to my footsteps
that resonate uncertainty.

I spent a minute today,
to look at the stars that shone above
trying to outshine the Moon.

I spent a minute today,
watching the lowly stars
speed past me to places unknown.

I spent a minute today,
looking at life anew
brush past in a hasty chance.

I spent a minute today,
gazing into the eyes of darkness,
as a quiet smile adorned my lips.


And, I say, it's a minute well spent!
