Supernova

Supernova




We live in a world while living in our own
little world within our minds.
Sometimes those worlds may overlap,
integrate within our own and along with other
little worlds within other minds.

They float about, spinning,
traveling in an orbit around ourselves,
sometimes even around another or others
and while they do so those little worlds
may even yet create another world,
or even others.

At times those mingling, little worlds may merge
only to explode, often within.
In so doing they may even result in bringing about
yet even more little worlds into existence.
It is indeed astronomical.

An eternal cycle with always the possibility
of only resulting in an catastrophic black hole
that only sucks the existence of all of those
spinning, little worlds into nothingness.

If life exists or existed at one time it is drained away.
If a little world is or was already barren
does it even matter in the grand scheme of things?
In the “big picture?”
There is and always will be that cosmic, “super drain,”
physically, psychologically, emotionally and even spiritually.

Sometimes that “cosmic drain” may even clog,
at least to some extent, with all of the “interstellar crap”
and it needs to clear and flush it all away
and it does do so in time and in space,
speaking from a universal point of view.

It makes its one, last, brilliant spectacle
for all to see,
who choose to do so
while in reality going supernova
a long, long time ago.
