Bullets from the soul (New Year's Resolutions)

Dodging and ducking,

Running and jumping,

Spinning down...

Life has caught a spirit.

 

A moment has caught a life,

A lifetime changed in a moment.

A child who is the man,

The man who was the child.

 

Climbing and sliding,

Loving and losing,

Falling down...

Bullets invade the man.

 

A soul is invaded by a bullet,

A bullet that came in a moment,

A moment that killed a child,

The child that became a man

 

For a lifetime changed

Changed by a moment

Captured in time

Time to dissolve...

These bullets in my soul.
