Create a poem from the perspective of someone who finds themself alone, at the end of the universe.
I Am A Million Stars
The warmth of a lifetime lived with love
Cocoons my failing mind
The memories drift like flakes of snow
Precious but left behind
My body, withered, frail and worn
Has swayed it’s final dance
Now foetal limbs, curl once again
As I float in to the expanse
Emptiness becomes a reality
As infinity unravels it’s core
I am everything, but also nothing
I am rich, but also poor
My naked heart no longer beats
My blood has ceased to ebb
But the pulsating drum of the universe
Has caught me in it’s web
I am a million stars, you see
I’m the moon and sun and sky
I’m not gone, I’m here, but I am free
I’m everywhere, I didn’t die!
