Black backdrop
Sky canvas
Specks on the spectrum
silently flickering away
from a far off galaxy
Ancient visual waves
at long last reach my eyes
On the horizon I see
a supernova flame out flash
Someone's sun was checking out
in a fiery solar explosion
I say "was"
because the expiration date
was millions of years ago
back when our dinosaur crew
was meeting
it's inevitable extinction fate
Light sure is hyper fast
and yet
distance takes it's toll
So you see my mortal friends
Even the stars die out
As will ours someday
Everything goes
As do we
Accept this natural reality
and cease chasing
the very flawed concept
of ever lasting eternity
