In the Wink of an Eye

Took a lifetime to build
and the wink of an eye to shatter
Was so precious
yet fragile to handle
The moment it was here
the moment gone nowhere
So were my tresses
long and all the flare
Was a wish granted
yet taken fore granted
The fairy and her tale
lonely yet mundane
So is the mystery of life
you live and learn to be alive
To love and unlove
in the wink of an eye
