Perhaps it is just as well.

Perhaps it is just as well.

Bring it on.

Pieces of life

So easily broken

Float me away

We are all adrift

Ice floes

Archipelagos

Unique islands

With evolutionary eco-systems

Bidding to stay afloat

As the pull of gravity

Draws us apart

Step inside my shadow

There is little comfort

In maintaining

The same shape

It will stretch the imagination

Follow a similar pattern

Hide within a pretence

Of singularity

Will not sustain

Us both

Unless we combine

Coalesce

Become a black star

With uncertainty

As a defining principle

How stable

Will it be

If we eclipse our own

Blood moon

The rising

Will be hindered

Without the possibility

Of synchronization

But life forms

Are distinct

Shadows finely drawn

In concert

Too easily lost in the moment

As we rotate

An axis never fully moored

We will float away

Like shallow ice flowing

Cold shadows melting

Into sunlight

Energy transformation

Imagine such an ending

As the beginning

Of creation
