Stars

Under the breath of pure white stars

Pupils stretch till black expanse

Mirrors true dark, true shadow,

The black beyond.

The dying light of collapsing stars,

The decay rate of all time,

Gasping beneath its atmosphere.

Gravity holding your hand and

Holding you down.

Crushing space and the infinite,

Eyes wide,

Miniscule and present

Aware of a moment beyond instants

Breath shared by starlight,

Glowing alive, 

A limit approaching zero,

Glowing forever,

An end, An end, or never at all
