Deep Time

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 28, 2019





Deep 
  dark time.
falling 
further and
further into
  the void.
Cold time.
Colder and
colder as it
sinks,
sinks into 
 something
  ancient,
something 
timeless.
  Looking up
fading light,
  never to be
 seen again.
Looking down,
darkness, 
  cold darkness.
  Never ending 
  fall, never 
 ending darkness.
Never ending 
cold.
 Deep time
 freezes everything.
  Fixes it in time.
Ultimate 
destination.

Deep time is a very easy to read poem, even by a child, even though they wouldn't understand the message behind the words. I like it very much, keep on writing.
