The Universe Winks
Statues rise and fall
Empires stutter and stall
Genius streaks 'cross the sky
Leaves in its wake more 'Whys?'
Mountains slowly erode
Earth cracks, they implode
The seas advance then recede
A hiss of steam from icebergs freed
The sun grows old, begins to expand
Turns devil-red, scorches the land
A mighty blast proclaims its twilight
The universe winks ~ goodnight
