To Be Replaced By Another
The exact moment
of birth and death
is amazing
the most amazing thing in life
like the flick of a switch
from nothingness to being
from being to something else
A new bulb burns bright
dims over time and
burns out
never to light again
to be replaced by a new bulb
A new life burns bright
dims over time and
burns out
never to light again in this world
to be replaced by a new light
or does it
Things last longer now
give off more light and
use less energy
but at the moment
they burn out
the light is gone
into the world
There are different types of bulbs
Incandescent
Florescent
Tungsten
Different colors
sizes
shapes and
energy levels
Each provides light in their own way
at some point
they will burn out
to be replaced by another
or do they
can you really replace any thing?
