The Beauty In Atrophy Poem by Tor Silvertongue

Beautiful stars falling from the sky,
Impacting the world like shattered lives.
Why is it that something so beautifully innocent,
Can destroy everything that we love
With such reckless abandon inside a millisecond?

Everything we love sent into oblivion; desolate
Superdense layers of sand, slate, and shale.
The pulverizing Nature''s Hammer displaying Atrophy's Tail.

Fragmenting shards in random Patterns,
Sparkling glass daggers reaching from the sky.
Yearning for the darkness from whence they came,
Another child of carbon, are we not the same?

Even nature hold love for beauty,
Cascading light flitting across the surface,
Revealing the beauty of creation through desolation.
From our original form comes ultimate purpose.
So fast is it, that we lose sight of its worth.
