Vanitas Vanitatum

Spinning into the void.... Silhouetted glimpses Of these comets And shooting stars Disappearing tales of vapour 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 existence!? Spatiotemporal....Resting.... ...."Never Again!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vanitas Vanitatum

I unintentionally visualized Van Gogh's "A starry night" while reading this.... I hope that's okay! Really well done, excellent imagery!
