Observer In The Sky

Is there more to their existence?

Lives extinguished in an instant

In the cosmos where I reign

There is never doubt or pain

Yet, I watch them down below

What they’re doing they don’t know

They hurtle quick to their demise

This as sure as suns will rise

How I wish that I could show them

How I wish that I could warn them

If to steer them far away

Before they reach the end of days

But I cannot interfere

So I watch from way up here

I merely watch their days go by

A lone observer in the sky

ยฉ The Beginning At Last

      1. Because we are the cause of our own demise is most likely the reason why she is wrathfulโ€ฆLOL

    1. Thank you, Chris. It kind of reflects my mindset lately. Just be, and let the word do what it will.

  3. Beautifully expressed, Kevin.
    Cosmos silent watch, though filled with care, canโ€™t alter fate or guide us where.
    Yet in our brief and fragile span, We seek to live the best we can.
    Cosmos distant gaze inspires our fight, To find meaning in our fleeting light!
