The End

We see dead stars still shine their light,
To give us peace through caustic night.
These shells decay and we take flight.
Eternal sky, our souls requite.

I'm not ready for the end.
The lights come up, but eyes grow dim.
I'm not ready for the end.
But I'm not ready to begin.

Wizened creatures, shriveled skin.
Binary stars lose their twin.
Mortality, life's greatest sin.
Yet fossils foster life again.

Brief your sojourn, short your song.
Melodies won't linger long.
Chords unwrapped in screaming sighs.
But love, keep breathing through our sky.
