Shadow World

Shadow World Wondering off the world are shadows Trees tried to stay behind To settle with the sun of red, to make it right and just Beyond its light Something wrong had happened to its core The star focused on objects in reflection Had nothing left to give to life but death Objected to moving things in general With indifference there Exploded with anticipation of the night Could not contain dark places looking for escape Colors could hardly stick to trees Stationary in their place as was their nature Seemingly anesthetized to numbness by the sudden blast Anathematized or cursed Trees were the last to stand They held themselves in dirt And could not reason with the star Executed on the spot along with every form of life For failure to do their job No one or thing had a say in this grave matter All things destroyed in one quick flash of light To become a splinter in the eye of sun as it went nova And when the planet settled into total darkness To become an empty orb When the sun lost power To become the dark Sunk in on itself and vanished No one said a prayer For no one was there to care Or left alive in Shadow world A burnt out cinder
