The Beauty of the End

Be still my heart
go gentle into the goodnight
stirred by the dying wind
of winter.

I woke from a dream
and my breath caught
as two moons now
hovered in the sky.

A memory of your eyes
from far away in another life
and I knew at that moment
I stood at the helm of the
end of the world.

It was beautiful in its
strange unyielding way
which crushed my breath

And the stars began to fall
from the sky, time slowed
and I was overawed as they
appeared like jellyfish floating
through eternity.

Do you remember
standing on the edge
of everything watching
the buildings begin to crumble?

We danced through
hailstorms and meteor showers,
and the world eclipses itself
there were no regrets
in saying goodbye.

I love it, so beautiful, my favorite part is this one

And the stars began to fall
from the sky, time slowed
and I was overawed as they
appeared like jellyfish floating
through eternity.

Thank you! That was actually in part inspired by the movie In the Darkest Hour. It is this alien invasion movie, and there was this scene, when the aliens were first arriving, they looked like these floating, illuminated jellyfish. And I have a fascination with jellyfish so one of the first thoughts that popped into my head was, it wouldn't be so bad to be exterminated by beautiful jellyfish lights.
