Remains of the Day
The world innocuously gyrated about its normal course
While the Heavens observed the frolicking fools
Worried skies gathered in a protective embrace
Winds spiraled to and fro sifting through their hand-picked quarry
Stars flickered as they shed their luminescent glow
An eerie shadow had settled upon Creation
The cries of Mother Nature silenced by an aura of deceit
Birds sorrowfully quashed their tweeting operas
Bumblebees lazed breathless by the stems of the wilting snap-dragons
Majestic whales swum in confusion as they advanced toward their sandy
grave
The mighty roars of the lions were engrossed by an ominous silence
Snakes slithered about as omnipresent predators to devour the remains of
the day
Mountain tops bellowed ash-filled gases
Planetary plates cracked as an opposing force entered the sphere
Sea beds belched past their prison-like crust
Forests felled as if by a mysterious logger
Oceans hugged the shores as if to ready their advance
All of God’s creatures united as they prepared for their ultimate fate.
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
