Butterfly wing thin

 


I must have seemed

unimportant

to the end of the world.

Insignificant within

its great cosmic swirls,

but I was there when it all crumbled.

I witnessed a sun explode into black,

like ink dropping onto a page,

stories being sucked in.

Word by word

Letter by letter,

fading into the ink blot space.

I remembered being tucked in tight,

listening to stories of wrong and right.

Evil being defeated by light,

but in this dark place

I knew no saviour would come.

Our time was done.

 

It is strange to feel

the insignificance

of a stuttered heartbeat,

it barely feels real.

Butterfly wing thin

it swirls away with no meaning.

Time is coming to an end,

our little blip upon its skin,

barely means anything.

If the universe blinked

it would have barely seen us,

just a speck of dust upon its lens,

blown away in the breath

of the cosmic wind.

 

But then I think,

all those things we created,

in that tiny blink.

All of the good,

did it outweigh

the negativity?

And now as I sway,

feeling the blackness

pulling me towards the brink

I think of

the songs now eternally circling

amongst the nebulas.

The words of our hearts,

drifting across galaxies

so far away from ours,

and I realise we all played a part.

We were a jigsaw piece

in this puzzle of the stars.
