A Bright Light She Came a Visiting; a Visiting One Morn

 A Bright Light She Came a Visiting; a Visiting One Morn
 
 A traitorous sunrise,
 Dear Destruction,
 Searing across the Universe
 To visit extinction,
 Like an unwelcome fracture.
 A pause in time that consumes
 Everything
 And leaves a blanket of dust
 Chilled;
 Lifeless;
 Devoid of hope.
 Promising a Winter of Infinity
 Of Nights
 So inked
 The stars have ceased to exist
 And Spring
 Forgotten,
 Mislaid,
 Abolished
 Like the disintegration of the dawn.
 You are missed,
 But not with affection.
 You are remembered,
 But not with exhilaration.
 You are feared
 But not
 With enough trepidation
 Or planning
 Or preparation.
