In Too Deep

Beyond the echoes

Of the big bang

Is silence spreading

Like a deadly virus,

There is no quarantine

To keep it from

Reaching infinity.

Now a black hole has become

The only voice of reason

As it swallows eternity whole.

Nature did not leap to mind but politics did. All the troubles of the world swallowing us whole

Thank you, I am glad my poem is bringing different topics to mind for people.

dear Dale... my son and family are living in SLC, Utah , and the California fires bring so much smoky haze there are times you cannot see the mountains. “Beyond the echoes Of the Big Bang”. Be still my soul... truly, Pat

Thank you for sharing your story.

This brings to mind the way climate change seems to have hit critical mass . . . the smoke from California fires alone (not to mention many other weather events all over the world) is spread across 2/3 of the USA. It almost seems futile to trim back emissions here & there, when the constant fires pour so much pollution into the air! Are we beyond saving the planet? That's what your poem makes me think of (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Wow, that my poem brings that to mind is really flattering. When my poems make someone think that deeply I am speechless, thank you.
