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
