Crisis Poem by Laurence Overmire
Crisis
What seemed so great
in the moment
was
in the scheme of things
very small
Only death and its
incumbent couriers
merit the attention
of so strict a life's
expectancy
And then, and only then
in the calm eye of the storm
can one see
clearly
that which was forbidden
was only a temporary latch
on that pearly gate of
Knowing.
