Creation

Without us
what significance
the world

the pebbles that sing
on the shore

the rise and fall
of the tides

what commerce
between the stars

what loves lost
or won

self-expression
of the universe

riddled with questions
we are the answer

to our own puzzles
our doubts and uncertainties

discourse of the heart
of creation

our egos bound for glory
in the humility of dust

John Lyons
