AFTER THE WAR - II

So many stars

sleep

An eternal slumber

in the heavenly embrace

of a sleeping sky

…Unseen.

Unawakened…

by a wisp

of a whistling wind

…Unfelt.

Since the day

a zillion eyes fused

in a nuclear fission.

Forgotten…

But for the black hole

in the heart

of the sleeping sky.

A mute testimony

to days gone by

Telling no one

The Story

of the Earth

that Was

Once Upon a Time.

When stars shimmered

And the sky smiled

Because Life saw…

But it is of no consequence

Really…

That era ended

A long time ago.

And who is listening

Anyway…

...
