Ignorance is Bliss
An innocent star gleaming in the night sky,
it’s insides un-touched, untainted.
They say ignorance is bliss,
ignorance can’t last forever.
It’s awakened by the touch of another,
it starts to shimmer with excitement.
The star gives and gives, releasing vast amounts of energy.
Receiving replacement energy from another source.
However, the cycle is corrupt
the star gives too much, receives too little.
Not noticing that it’s expanding at an exponential rate,
the star continues to give with out thought
That’s when the unexpected happens,
the star implodes under the cruel force of gravity.
The lightweight hydrogen and helium are transformed,
They turn into cold, dense, heavy iron.
All that’s left is a lifeless sphere.
The molecules so close together,
they form an impenetrable fortress.
Nothing can enter, nothing can leave.
At least that’s what the star thought,
but something does get through.
Breaks the barriers like a child snaps a toothpick.
The star is reborn again, bigger than before.
Once again it begins to release energy,
emitting extensive amounts into its surroundings
The star is very unstable,
solar flares of worry are abundant.
Once again the cycle corrupts,
the star realizes its death is imminent.
It tries to recover itself,
but the pressure of gravity is too much.
The star once again implodes.
This time its worse, the star was bigger.
The resulting explosion shatters the star,
Scattering its remains across the galaxy.
The star’s life is not over however,
A different force of gravity brings it together.
It gathers the remains to form a new star,
This one, however, will never again be as innocent as the original.
(twists the life cycle of a star a little but i had to make it work)
and
A Winter's Night
The sun recedes into the night
only to rise again in the morn
abandoning the landscape to darkness
revealing the story of a winter's night
A layer of darkness covers all
a black shade of nothingness
creating feelings of uncertainties
of poisonous fear and dread
the coldness surrounds your body
smothering it in a swirl of numbness
you can even smell the bitter cold
a dreadful poison slowly shutting your body down
broken only by the hoots of owls
the silence captivates everything
a fantastic symphony of nothingness
leaving your mind to explore it's thoughts
the wind sweeps harshly across the land
a cruel shoot of pure cold
chilling your body to the core
shutting down the nuclear reactor that is your heart
the grass is stiff and frail
covered with the frozen tears of the night
one tender step shatters the blades
destroying their brittle existence
A gentle snowflake flutters slowly towards your face
oh, the sweet touch of snowflakes melting on your nose
reminding you of the beautiful things in life
of things the darkness had made you forget
A light shines in the distance
the beginning of yet another day
the sun rises gracefully
casting it's rays across the landscape
vanquishing the darkness with smooth efficiency
molding the cold cruel wind
into gentle breezes of warmth and goodness
jumpstarting the nuclear reactor in your chest
