Nova in Reverse

Silent shadows creeping, stars about to stride

Frozen in the moment, caught in the tide

We were born to shine, reaching for the sky

Bright flames ignite our dreams, then say goodbye

Flickering, fragile, in the cold night air

A spark that lingers, fading with despair

But time is a thief, stealing all we hold dear

A burst of brilliance, then breaking clear

Nova in reverse, falling apart in the dark

Lost in the chaos, screaming from the heart

Exploding silently, echoes through the void

A celestial demise, beauty deployed

Layered voices rising, overlapping cries

Polyphonic chaos, truth in disguise

Harmony in madness, singing the same refrain

Exposing the beauty behind the pain

We watch it all fall, then rebuild anew

From the ashes, shining through

A nova in reverse, destined to disperse

Fading into the universe, unrehearsed
