Firefly Poem by John Prophet

Blinking
in.
Blinking
out.
Brief
flash of
existence.
Infinite
scales
abound.
Time and
space.
Always was.
Always will be.
Human scale
negligible.
Firefly
blink.
Here today
gone
tomorrow.
Purpose?
Point?
None obvious.
What to do?
What to do
within the
blink?
What to think?
Perspective.
Humility.
Understanding
of scope.
Here today.
Gone tomorrow.
Never to be
again.
Virtual
particles
blinking
in and out
of the
ether.
Nothing
more than
probability.
