Goodbye world


		I look up!
		The night sky - clear, beautiful!
		Glittering stars - the Galaxy -
		Infinity!

		It lightens.
		One by one the stars wink and fade.
		Soundlessly disappearing -
		Leaving no trace.
		Yet there is a New One,
		There throughout the day.
		It gave us life!
		It gave me life!
		Without warning, it too winks and is gone.
		Complete, utter darkness!
		Eternity...
