A moment
A breath
The blink
Of an eye

Still
Motionless
The utter freedom
Of that flexibility

A flip
A twirl
A turn
Frozen

In midair
Just
There
Like that

A clap
A step
Leaves falling
From a tree

Back on
Your toes
Picturesque
No more

Suspended

I got the idea for this when I was playing around with a set of keys. I kept throwing them in the air, and you know that moment when it's just, well, there? This is what this poem is about.

Once again, I thank you, TheUnknownGuest. I really just listed everything that I thought of while I toyed with the keys.

I can&#039;t remember it clearly, but it went something like this:<br /> <br /> &quot;The past is the past, the future is the furture. But now, now is like a gift, which is why it is called present.&quot;
