the light goes out

is the light
burning out an omen.
a sign
from up above
that a new day has
arrived.
a portent of things
to come,
or where we have
arrived.
is the bulbs
demise a hint
of some sort
that darkness
has come upon us?
or maybe,
it's just an old
light
whose time has come,
worn out its use.
we look too deeply
into
small things thinking
that the world
revolves around
us.
