Author's Note

fatalism (internal and external) "Dead inside of suicide": not a physical act, but a state of despair. «Destiny's from outside»: fate is an external, ruthless force, a human being is an object that destiny is pressing down on, unable to resist it. the coldness of contemplation ("Longing eyes like cold silver") the image of eyes like cold silver speaks of the detachment of those who look at the world with longing (longing), the gaze is devoid of warmth, silver is a cold and mirrored metal; the character only reflects a reality in which he has no place, eternity against the moment ("Flame stars in a timeless river") — "flaming stars in a timeless river" is a metaphor for space, the river of time: "timeless" (timeless), infinite, stars: sparks of creativity that burn brightly, but float in the stream of oblivion, where a person is just a flash (star), between inner emptiness and outer fate.

Hi! In addition to the wonderful minimalistically figurative text about the realization of the hopeless fatality of the time of being flowing like a river, I really liked the associative coincidence with the image below, sad and fatalistic - respect to the author!

Hi, I really can't make heads nor tails out of this one.
However, the best poets are insane, I think.
Don't take that the wrong way. lol.
It kind of reminds me of Revelations.
The great star Wormwood falls into the waters turning them bitter.
Yeah! I see it! Awesome write!
