People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

Flies in Amber ~ Philip Brent Harris

A flash of lightning
shatters the night.
Rattle of the rain.
Crash of thunder.
Each without equal.
Yet, they all play
in the same orchestra.
Each soloist brave
enough to step forward.
Place themselves at
the mercy of an audience,
our audience. Secretly,
they know they will find
the light. And the darkness.

We must always live within,
and live through both.
Eternal light or darkness.
would leave us blind,
and mad, comprehending
nothing. Until they become
serial, comprehensible.
But will we understand?
They are confusing. And
confuse our understanding.
Everyone knows and no one
knows the answers to,
each and every yes and no.

How then when our show
is ended? Some far future
will we gather?  Marvel
at what we’ve brought.
Laugh chat, debate and
analyze. Stare agog at
how utterly marvelous
it’s been. Even the parts
we thought we could not
survive. Only then will
we shyly smile and say,
“oh, how wonderful,
let’s do it all again.”
