First Star

In the center of the universe Where the first star showed its light, Beaming into emptiness To begin the endless night. The black tomorrow wakes To the glory of a day, And the first star of the universe Begins to fade away. 2018.08.19

It possibly is, Vijay. Many times I have no idea where a poem is going until after it is written. Thank you for stopping by. ...Fran
