Black Ice

BLACK ICE Some say the world will end in ice, a pitch black universe in sacrifice. Earth is swallowed by the sun, from Earth’s horizon, galaxies run. Nebulas lose fuel that star their souls, galaxies are eaten by black holes. Stars blink out with no new fuels, and protons decay by nature’s rule. All in entropy will decay, No time, no space defines the way. No energy nor mass that creates, An empty canvas that hesitates. From ice and cold and lifeless wind, some say creation begins again. Out of nothing what will appear, a single light or cosmic sphere. -Edlynn Nau © October 11, 2018
