( for what it is worth, a little thank you/ dedication to Rolph for kindly services rendered )

 

Globular fiery countenance,

the retaining of its secret longevity, towards self demise,

remains questionable

 

Will its Earth-reaching golden tentacles.

be retracting sooner than we are anticipating?

 

A hovering threat, hanging over the Earths populating heads,

as to when will it die, and leave our planet 

doused in a total victory for darkness?

 

Leaving us, having to adapt to a never ending shadow blanketed existence

or sit, helplessly, choicelessly, in our acceptance

of the countdown, to finality.
