One moment's hesitation
caused a world to slip and slide
Momentum in regression
making inner worlds collide
A breath too late
A thought too still
A tune unnoticed wanes
Illusions of reality
crowd fate out of the game
Yet deep inside a centered man
a power waits to rise
Entwined with faith and confidence
each dream to realize
