Flickering in Time MAG
May 4, 2021
I watched the summer fireflies last night
And while admiring their pretty light
I contemplated how, to my dismay
They’d likely only live a few more days.
But then, I looked towards the shining stars
And pondered on about how we all are
A momentary flickering in time
To all the speckled creatures of the sky.
And when the planet’s end must
come about
Long after all our cities fizzle out
The creatures of the sky will disappear
As stars change their positions through
the years.
And some of them will burst in fiery grace
And some will fade into the dark of space.
