Thanatos
The universe is a grandfather clock
At the end of oblivion's hallway;
Steady ticking The Big Bang tock
With a doppler stellar display
Spectroscopically viewable
By an egghead orchestration
Of observation renewable...
Optical instrumentation.
Yet so silent are those rainbow beams
That I instead hear only fears
Of being deaf in all my dreams
When music rules the midnight spheres,
And as that hallway clock runs down...
Quietus gains the last renown!

Of being deaf in all my dreams

This is probably way much more than when I am reading. Today I wanted to stop the clocks. How ironic..... music is about to rule my night

We can stop the clocks, but time ignores us and continues anyway.
Your boogie nights sound like a better plan. I hope you have a great time!

Hi MidnightSonneteer (great name by the way),
My day job is actually a Chemistry/Biology teacher. I therefore love your theme, granted I am unfortunately one of those egg heads!!!
Time, whatever the hell it is, is fascinating. I like the image you are conjuring. Silent light.

When music rules the midnight spheres,
Brilliant lines, really enjoyed this poem.

Thanks!
I can't do the math, but I like to play around with the conceptual stuff every now and then.
Chemistry!
Hmmm..I'd probably blow myself up, but I hear there's great job security with that.
