The Sky Has Gone Dark

So vast it spreads above her head
A sky in which the stars are dead
A blank sheet pinned onto the air
Diminished to a single thread
Modest and with empathy spare

The bluntly bare sky then ceases
Drops its pointless thousand pieces
Falls and crushes and deceases
On a hard ground that does not care
An indifference it appeases
To salvage her it doesn’t dare

“My mind, you who once reigned the sky
Lost your track and have gone awry
Now with the plainest look you fly
My mind that falls when no one sees
Whose strong essence has gone to die
Where can I go but to my knees?”

Now the heaven has been withdrawn
Pictures is all of the forgone
That still flutters from dusk 'til dawn
Above her empty, forlorn head
"How sad that what I've undergone
Is far too broad for just one thread".
