The Lite-Bulb Blinked

Oh!
the lite-bulb
blinked
it did
I felt it
but what was it
and where is it now
or light is too fast ~
or truth never lasts

Ooh...this is interesting. The verse moves fast like the speed of light. You felt the light. It is eerie. And yes, there are some things that must come to light - root out the lies. This is great, Gershona,

Hmm, I sense some hidden wisdom within these at-first innocuous lines - do you only glimse truth for a second, or can you hold it longer? I will need to think over this more, so must Fave it!

Thank you for the FAVE, Michelle... As for hidden wisdom, there may be some -- yet from where did it come?! ~ Dim Bulb

At a speed of 300,000 kilometers a second, it is impossible to catch. Good write.

Ha, ha! You are the 'stat man,' Robert! ... So, I guess 'lightning in a bottle' is a real misnomer, technically speaking... Peace, Gershon
