At Once Happens
Introduction
This piece of writing will explore at once happens and how changing occurs.
♦At Once
At once, a flash of recall burnt bright,
When dark night prevailed, obscuring every sight.
Then that flash illuminated all my visions.
And with new decisions, I began to craft my writing art right.
At once, a blow of wind passed by me,
Echoing slight laughter, wild and free,
As symphony rings in perfect sequence,
Arranging my lyrics and covering my glee.
At once, I discovered glowing smile of moon,
Which changed my mood and heart’s tune,
By adding new depth to my emotions so bright,
My lyrics transformed into lunar epic, very soon.
At once, a cool breeze bounced through the field,
Seeming too happy, like a shield revealed,
Meanwhile, it shook my soul, resting in peace,
That promoted my epic into prose of yield.
At once, petals of thought bloomed in my mind,
A gentle rain of ideas fell and darkness left behind,
Fertilizing my writing through the whole night,
For work beyond compare, thanks to inspiration unbind.
Alas, at once, some disloyalty appeared in my mind,
Nothing left in, and my soul felt bind,
Hate and discomfort destroyed fertility,
I remained with hollow mind and unfind.
