Oblivion Tears

She sees what was, what is, and what is to be. She rises, running her hands over us, silently staring into our eyes, into our hearts. She solemnly dreads what is to come for her creation, the mistake that we are. She weeps for our suffering, our destruction. Standing there, glancing into the universe, pondering what is..tears falling down her radiant cheeks.

A boy follows the outline of a flock of birds passing out of view, over faded winter trees. He wonders why him? Why his family? The loving cat, gently purring on his lap? Why must we all endure our fate? Why must so much agony, so much hatred, so many empty angry shells?

Her accidental creations, on a pearl not meant for them. Spinning in silence, as they descend into the end.

Her hands on her face, she cannot bear another glance. All those hearts so faded. beat..beat...beat....beat.......___________

Silence, as she falls to her knees and screams in sorrow and agony for us...faded as we are, lost to oblivion.
