Flash

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 06, 2023 

Flash.
Moment.
Merely
a moment.
Firefly
flash in
eternity.
As creation
spins
taking no
notice.
Indifferent.
Unaware.
Fabric
of reality
uncertain.
Humanity
grunting.
Spinning
in a
raindrop.
Negligible
in the
grand
scheme.
Self
absorbed.
Self
impressed.
Self
important.
Center
of the
universe.
Firefly
flash.
Perspective
lacking.
Time for
contemplation,
self reflection.
What
to do
with the
flash of
existence.
