Vanitas Vanitatum
Spinning into the void....
Silhouetted glimpses
Of these comets
And shooting stars
Disappearing tales of vapor
Astonishing wonders, they are!
Axioms....
Swishing into the swirls
Of the churning skies
Crashing into the waters
Amid spindrifts....Vanishing light!
Their moment, slowly descending
Beneath the murmuring tide
Columns, of reflectless glass
Silently dancing....
For the very last time
Unto the shores, of forevermore
Forgottens fathoms....their lives!
Spatiotemporal....Resting....
...."Never again"....
