Fire Of Ageless Stars Poem by Barry Middleton

Fire Of Ageless Stars

Rating: 5.0


the fire of ageless stars
flicker from the dawn of time
to fade to candlelight

suns and planets are consumed
by time's unyielding gravity
the simple weight of existence

rivers run dry
deserts become oceans
mountains crumble to dust

so what of frail humanity
why would we ever think to be
above the earth and stars

why would we ever think to be
in fickle blind infinity
above the candlelight

An interesting question, and I'd like to know the answer) Maybe humanity isn't that frail?
