What happens when the world ends?

Question

"Forgiving Fate"

There's a dragon in the sky, baby,
all teeth and fire and bite.
End of an era.
Ending of time.
Strong knights will fall,
accused of crimes.

Bad men sing while good men mourn
dark days march on while we're reborn.
Living lingers as dreams die off,
cracked glass staircase
to another branch
of a different heaven.
Things must pass, my stalwart sterling.

Dreams must crown, be born, and die,
hellos all must know good-byes,
most truths can drown beneath the lies,
wills must bend to compromise,
as dragons perish
in greying skies.

Some sweet dreams must end in pain...
lest all of life the same remain.

You're one of those deep poets, but I understand this one. Nancy (who adores you) told me all about you & how much she loves your writing. I've read you before but don't know that I answered. (I don't always want to prove myself the Village Idiot, so I just read & skedaddle.) I just LOVED this one, though and wanted you to know. The middle stanza competes with the final one as I can't  choose my favorite between them.

No mater what we do or how hard we try,
the day will come ,
''when the world its self will one day die'' 
and 'Earth will be no more. 
'Yet we all no that one Star out of million's
will survive , 'this perhaps is here one part 
of WE will remain for ever... ''lifeless but happy '

Yes, you are indeed an excellent poet, and shall never forget the
first one I read of yours...about a cup-of-tea, if I remember rightly.

This one I particularly like at the moment as a lot of it I can relate to...
It's all there in the last stanza, and the couplet...

Warren D · Answer

I shall mull this one over for a time
And pray about what my thoughts reveal to me.

Our lovely blue green garden home,
An island suspended between Venus and Mars.
(Was ever there a more appropriate placement?)

To think it might vanish or transform yet again
Into fiery hot, lava-strewn nothingness
Taking us to our eventual place in the geological record
Of this tiny blue green planet, the garden home 
Of our ancestors and of us, God's lost children.

(A very interesting write and something I will think about for a while.)

A deviation from what I would consider your typical style, could use some polish perhaps, maybe some minor tweaks
but all in all good

[Eagle I]

Mistral 's thrusting Eagles' flight
Earnweld lifts on stratosphere
cause upwards free spirits strive
Ethons aptly conflate and peer.

Annborg in airy analogies aviate
Alarii above weather uppish avail.
to attend spiritual Aras propriate,
Adlers entwine, in secluded dale.

Andor will determine their arnaud,
Arnborg in Polar winds to brawl,
ornament of Gods Arnkell bestow
their Arndt define in eagle squall.

An Arnborg above you, is a shield 
in misty forests will nest on arvid,
to occupy your mind's mount glen
demesne wings will entangle void.

Diaphanous ether of arvidh elision
Orel for Hades, in nimbus baptize,
Aquilae engage in air's acroterion,
evanescent up, to Olympus demise.
