One Minute Warning


In Time
The story unfolds and plays out.
In Time
Teary eyes behold the way out.
In Time
Hard lessons are uncomfortably learned.
In Time 
Thrones comfortably sat on are overturned.
In Time 
The monarch in the dark lost his crown.
In Time 
The richly-stitched veil fell slowly down.
In Time 
Thunder struck with a mighty rumble.
In Time
Wondrous structures weakened and crumbled.
In Time 
The empowered empire declined.
In Time 
Starfire will surefire cease to shine.
In Time 
The hole will grow and expand.
In Time 
The soul will know and understand.
In Time 
A universe was sparked into life.
In Time 
The cosmos will go dark and quiet.
• • •
Immortals exist ever outside of it.
Mortals wish to never run out of it.
Feet of man stand on a thin line.
Let us then do all that we can
• • •
In Time.
