Super Nova

Super Nova

Do I exist if you can’t see me,
Or have I melted into the starshine
That you left behind?

Can a comet lose its way
In the infinite universal matter
Or was there ever a path to follow
Through the empty chill of space?

A wandering effigy
Never meant to understand
If there was a purpose or a place.

Dark matter in the heart
A dying, collapsing star and
A black hole is born to consume.

Maybe it will draw you in.

Close once more, a final embrace
A single molten cell to form
Before time collapses and
We are but shells, not a single trace.

Lost out in space.
