We blink more than we think
And when we think we do not blink
Missing the opportunity to strike
But shut your eyes for a better view.

One eye open to hit the target
One eye on the prize at stake.
Land with both feet on the ground
And break both ankles trying

If time moved any faster
We would miss what we already barely notice.
Blink and something new is overlooked
But close your eyes to a world unseen.

Time is of the essence
And our business is to create,
But lose track of time
And thus it is too late.

Only now do I see what I've missed,
But behind my eyes
You hid in plain sight.
