This Barren Land

The sun rose and life flourished
On this barren land
Flowers stretched towards the sky
Yearning for the touch of light

Life was forever changed
And forever altered
The sun swore not to leave
Then the darkest winter swept in

Pushing the sun out of the sky
The darkest winter killed
Off every living thing on the
Earth, taking away its will to exist

The gravity of the sun and knowing that
It was the center of the galaxy kept
This barren land in orbit,
Until the sun walked out

Ceasing to spin, this barren land,
Rapidly sunk to the center of the
Galaxy into the black hole that
The absence of the sun left

This barren land no longer
Spins or thrives. This barren land
Implodes and eradicates its existence
In the vastness of the universe
