The Reckoning
beyond the reach of human gaze
and past the portal, no light strays
a darkness lurks as yet unseen
where spirits gather, boast and preen
await the night the sea will fly
and drown our thoughts that fill the sky
when day returns a trembling sound
heard naught by life where none is found
another waits on planets far
where once was but a twinkling star
and points our way beyond their moon
and asks if life became Earth's doom
