Ephemeral Disaster
what if your life
is a disaster?
residue from an earthquake
rubble upon rubble
and the sights that you see
a painful reality
are shards
of now-molten glass
from the latest cataclysm
that is your compounding nightmare
But what if your life
is a kaleidoscope?
of ephemeral lights
of hope and despair
of pain and delight
and the sights that you see
they crowd out the blight
to reveal a wondrous thing
it’s you, in your life
