Ballad of the Stars

Let the stars sing
a silent chorus, impending
the quiet, echoing
in the stillness of space.

Let the stars dance
a violent waltz
beams reflecting, dancing
faster than humanity can muster,
until like a cloud of arrows
they pierce the sky
sparks of white
upon an endless canvas.

Let the stars scream
mouths agape; soundless
Echoing of Nothing
into Nothing
as their souls wink out.

Let the stars die
smoldering husks
heat imploding on itself
ignored by the untrained eye,
the threads unwind
incinerating everything in its wake.
One final act
raging against the throes of death,

Until our own sun dies, screaming.
