ICE

There will come a time

At the end of you

When the sun is devoured

And darkness reigns

Brought on by

Inevitable cardiac entropy

With the dark

Comes the chill

Gliding slowly

Coving all

With a blue haze

Devouring the energy below

Energy tapped

Frost smashes

Warmth flees

Life drains

Sky darkens

Mountains whiten

The

ocean

Life's cradle

Where meaning was born

But left to run

Turns to ice

The source cut

Coldness seeps

Mantle cools

State of the inner permeates

The body still

Protection destroyed

Turning blue

Life cries out

Tears of blood

Rubies fall to shatter

Beings of water

Turn to beings of ice

Forever

The last human stands

Alone and bereft

Still

Life blood cools

From the extremeties

It freezes over

Like an arctic lake

Frozen to the core

The ice statue stands

One among billions

Just a feature on

This blue marble.

The new mars

Falls apart

Part of the endless

Cold void

The universe is one

To be part of space

An empty vacuum

There for eternity

Unchanged

Unreactive

Is life's

Inevitable fate
