End for
When darkness is my waking thought
And shadow clouds are all I see
When nothing lifts its head at dawn
To break the cold tranquillity
When birds are gone, and trees
And rocks disintegrate in space
The fading of the final star
The birth, the death, the eyes, the face
When frozen is the lingering word
And when all tales remain untold
A note of music hangs unheard
And nothing left to touch or hold
When movement slows and halts and stops
When lack of change chokes all the clocks
When time and space dissolve and clot
And darkness yet remains
When stars wink out without a sound
When nothing persists to be sought or found
When everything living slips into the ground
And darkness yet remains
And an end for the sky that they once looked up to
The colours described, the greens and the pure blue
Ocean waves gone never lapping on shores
And darkness remains, evermore, evermore
And the little leaves breaking away into nothing
The fires and passion of planetary crumbling
The mountains break into the sky, turn to dust in
Your eye, a speck or a hole as we’re sucked in.
