Dwarf Star

The universe swallowed my thoughts In another instant of uncertainty Truthfulness and doubt together were something Morphed into a new creation of nothing As if my time itself were the black hole And I, a dwarf star in the infinite sky Waning in the moment’s loss of control Where another hope was left to die. Shapeless and unseen in darkness Lost in the infinite, recessive light A contorted mass of possibilities gone Like the dim light of a rainy dawn Ambitions and plans stricken by loss And I, a fading star in a familiar crowd Carrying an even more familiar cross To be convicted of the sins I’ve avowed. Brighter stars illuminate without me Much like the brilliance I once exuded A new creation of barely something I’ll be With much less to adore in low luminosity And as the universe recycles these thoughts Uncertainty strangely becomes known In all my doubts, I have become a have not With my mistakes left with me for which to atone.
