The irony of what goes hand in hand!

Looking at the stars above
breathing down the window pane,
condensation fogs the mind,
moon shivers over rippled waters,
darkness lurks in its own shadow,
neither the sea or the sands move,
silent are the ticks of time
while a little boy asks.
“ Why do we all die?”
“Because that’s life!”
came the reply.

LOL the line "darkness lurks in its own shadow" made me spit out my coffee in a chuckle (I must remember to swallow first before reading you Andrew :) I do love irony my old friend I just wish it didn't follow me around so much its hard to pay attention

Thank you Robert I like do a line that’s against the principles of science but then again we have a black hole. Anyway just some wacky fun.

Love the title which has a great fit with the piece. A very relevant question set in a crisp freeverse with excellent description and the insertion of dialogue to bring it back to earth.

Thank you so much John for your kind words. Thanks for the smile.:)

Andrew,
Indeed irony! Yet the little boy asks a good question . . . hopefully some day someone will give him a better answer. Interesting write my Aussie friend.
