………………The end
Cataclysmic meteor strike
Blackness engulfs all things
Clouds of nothingness surrounds
Creation
Starvation, plague… to late tears
Children thin and hopeless
Poison air-choking searing
A microbe seeps into
The very heart of the living
Death of conscience
A mad man presses the
Magnetic button
Which is only his
Flash melting flesh
The divine hand
Tilts the axis of the earth
Time to die

A small javelin ray
Of pure sunlight
Enters the black void of finality
Touching the trickle
Of clear cold silver
Volcanic stream
Trickle of hope
The first unseen
Catalytic unfathomed
Chemical reaction
Quantum generated bolts
From the void
An insignificant
Mono cell
Eden reborn
The beginning……………..
Perhaps

Jon,

This is a very powerful piece.  Scary picture of what may come.

Yep Scared the wits out of me.

I,ve seen things you people wouldn't believe.

If my thought dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine.

Wow, this was intense, and so well thought out.
Well, if you get guillotened we'll just serve your head on a silver platter...LOL

other item you desired that is out of my range of thought, oh my, I hope I don't get fired...LOL

At first I was frightened but finally felt hope.
I just hope that none of us, our children or grandchildren are here to experience it. Powerful stuff John.

Great description Jon
What goes around comes around...we need to keep things in perspective, eg. how small we are in the scheme of things.

I liked this one a lot, Jon. You picked wonderful words; each one said so much. I'll agree with the others - a pretty scary picture of things (perhaps) to come, but sometimes scary can be good.

Very powerful Jon ... and I agree, it scares me to think of this ; but you painted a vivid, realistic portrait of what could come ....
Excellent work !!< !signature-->

Absolutely awesome Jon.  This piece puts visions in my head and really makes me think.  Frightening yet in the end you speak of hope.  Very, very powerful.
