Nuance

A hint of apprehension
Stronger than a tinge of hesitation
And more than six degrees of separation
Before there is a distinction
Between a shared moment
And the rest of time

An instant
A second
A flash

It’s transitory and fleeting
Limited to a treasured fragment
Branded into all that is
A gesture in perpetual motion
Age traversing the badlands

Each occurrence
Every encounter
All are subjected
Creating an incident

Improved understanding of I
Amplifying skills
Unforeseen cause
With a bewildering effect

The brink
A threshold built with suspense
Crack
Revolutionized and transfigured

An instant
A second
A flash
