Stop and Go

Brief Poem

Start
Let the words just flow out
Like product on a factory conveyor belt and don't stop
until sound stops
When the air can no longer hold onto the resonation
The strings in string theory no longer vibrate
And the sound disappears with with its instrument
Like smoke from a just extinguished fire

Continue
That seemed like an appropriate end
but the end is anything but
There's no such thing as a fairy tale ending
because fairy tales don't end
There is no such thing as a vacuum
Empty space needs to be filled
one way or another
And if there's nothing left but darkness to fill it
Then darkness will fill it
Like a blot of ink wicking itself through the fibers of a clean sheet of paper
Until the paper is more ink than paper
And any heart-felt beautiful words
written on it will become part of the black
Indistinguishable like drops of water in the ocean
Darkness breeds Darkness

Wait

There's flowers up above you
but you're view is blocked
Time is invisible but when enough of it builds up
it forms a fog becoming denser and denser
Until it's pitch black
Time does not breed time
it eats itself away

Wait


Keep waiting
