Pierce the Sky

[RevolvingElk]

Free verse thing I threw together in ten minutes. Tell me what you think c4c?

A single thread
holding back the deluge
Walls topple and crash.
The end is Nigh.

But a pin prick
to cause the fall.
The coming of the storm
quick and sure.

A firestorm
raging out of control.
Destruction reigns.
Nothing is safe,
sacred.

Houses will burn.
Children will mourn.
Still it rages
Inexorable.

It will bury us all.
Blood will stain the rocks,
flow in the streams,
taint the earth.

And lightning will crackle.
Pierce the sky.
And send the moon tumbling
to lose itself amongst the clouds.

Existence frays,
coils and withdraws.
And with a bang,
a spark, a glimmer
it fades.

[Frankie Jasmine]

I like your poem. I know this response comes 8 - 9+ months late, but I just saw it. I do not have nihilitics beliefs personally; however, the poem is well done and tells of destruction--which could be viewed literally or symbolically. Thank you for posting it.
