The Weight of the Pen (Poem)

Insurmountable mass,
Limited energy.
Can a conversion come
To reverse the direction?
Within is the venom,
Made of chains belonging to self.
Above the clouds are not,
Just stars, nebulae,
Their light still shining through time,
Regardless of their destruction.
Shoot for them,
And remain unmoved.
It is not in aiming
That one does shine.

Collapsing into self,
Space and time distorted,
No light escaping the black hole.
But in this world,
Black holes become stars,
When the light is strong enough to escape.

Suffocating on the gravity,
Breaking apart the self,
Condensing to become nothing of value.

Movement is unnoticed.
Might another frame of reference
Reveal a constant speed?
Still the direction is within.

Break away beams, particles, waves,
From the dark mass,
Convert it to energy,
Spread it out,
Let it burn.

Allow the light to reach the depths of darkness,
So that more may come to be.

-Zero
