Palindrome

THIS...is the END...of the UNIVERSE

Endless nothingness

Utter silence

Complete, all-encompassing blackness

Eons pass. They are mere moments to the cosmos

A dazzling flash

Atoms vibrate in time to the rhythm of the universe

Molecules form, linked by unbreakable bonds

Stars blaze, sending rays outward, illuminating the vacuum

Arranged together, the stars shine within their galaxies, forming the teeth in broken smiles

Innumerable galaxies, each with their own precious planetary systems

YOU ARE HERE

The Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy within the Virgo Supercluster

Oort Cloud, Sol System. Planet: Earth

Photosynthesis devours Carbon Dioxide and exudes Oxygen

Climates change, rising and falling like the ocean tides

Epochs pass, seen by man as entire tomes, but mere paragraphs to the universe

New lives begin. Life endures, marking the planet as its own

Some species die out while others thrive

Humans dominate, continuing their reign for thousands of years

They take pride in their cities and towns. Extol their infrastructure

Men and women applaud their advancements and sing the praises of their ingenuity

Babies are born while the elderly pass on

Children play in the streets

Friends gather in bars

Families grow together, sharing meals, memories, and experiences

Laughter, rage, and sorrow permeate the air in equal measure

You are content and consider yourself lucky

You try not to dwell on the bad times, but they ring through your mind as you try to fall asleep

In daylight, negative thoughts disappear like forgotten dreams

Life is good but it could be better. You pray it does not become worse

You focus on your relationships. Your home. Your job

You set goals for yourself

You strive to improve

You follow your passions

You write until your hand cramps

Read until your eyes blur

Sing until your voice falters

Run until you are breathless

You revel in the challenge

Bathe in your sense of accomplishment

You continue to chase fulfillment

Times are tough but you forge ahead

Gratitude is fleeting but its vitalness is never completely lost

Failures, though inevitable, slow you down

You push past your failings, lest they drag you under

Success, no matter how minor, nourishes you

You press on

You watch clouds pass overhead

You track shooting stars as they streak across the heavens

You stop to smell the roses

You feel the raindrops on your skin

You fall asleep to the sound of the storm

You wake to the Sun's warm light

Cool air caresses your skin

You wish. You wonder. You worry

You dream. You dare. You dance

You forget, only to remember days later in an anxious flash

You make time for the things that matter

You make room for that which brings you joy

You push past those things that hold you back

You try not to dwell on the past

The future holds potential, but you linger in the present

You reach for possibilities and hold on dearly to what you already possess

Life goes on

There are busy days and lazy nights

There are tranquil mornings and hectic evenings

Weeks and months stretch out before you

Seasons pass in their cycles

Time is short but love is everlasting

THIS...IS EARTH...AS YOU KNOW IT

Time is short but love is everlasting

Seasons pass in their cycles

Weeks and months stretch out before you

There are tranquil mornings and hectic evenings

There are busy days and lazy nights

Life goes on

You reach for possibilities and hold on dearly to what you already possess

You try not to dwell on the past

You push past those things that hold you back
