The Lights of Earth <br /> <br />The line is so transmutable <br />between the light and rain, <br />Between the sad and joyful, <br />Between that joy and pain, <br /> <br />The lights within our cerebrum <br />Flash on / off - now, again <br />As though they were December decorations <br />With still and hushed sensations <br />With a randomness that never can be known <br />so complex is our brain <br /> <br />And so the lights keep flashing <br />Until their charge <br />is charged no more <br />For we are the lights of Earth <br />That never were before,<br /><br />Fred Babbin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lights-of-earth/
