Time Unknown

Old mountains have turned to dust

Everything metal has burned to rust

There where great oceans used to be

Dried salt as far as the eye can see

 

Clouds no longer dot the sky

And nary a bird is seen to fly

The miracle that was all life

Has fallen upon time’s knife

 

The moon no longer shines

Barren rock in place of pines

A world that once was plush

Dies under time’s long touch

 

The sun eats Mercury and Mars

The giant red of a dying star

And all to which we held so fast

Falls away in long eons passed

 

Far flung to the expansiveness

A clock ticks down to a final rest

What once was a singularity

Ends with time the disparity

 

As the universe bids adieu

There’s one thing left that is true

The love you showed me constantly

Has lasted for an eternity
