What's Inside

The crackle of lightning Thrown from the sky As it strikes the ground With a shining array of sparks Is what's inside The dim light of the moon Displays no brightness ahead But in short time, the sun appears Acting as a guide, pointing the way Only after so long, it too is lost Through fingers like sand Time is just a blink of the eye Nothing but a blur when the darkness falls Across the chest, arms are folded Then all you have is what's inside
