Empire

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Jan 21, 2023 

Empire.
Spinning
island of
stars.
Sparks
emerge.
Sparking
up to
fizzle
out.
Fireworks
throughout.
Some take
root.
Seeds
reaching
out.
Developing.
Expanding,
roots
spreading,
digging in.
Star to
star the
growth
flows.
No others
found,
faded away.
Endless
real estate,
empire
grows.
From
nothing
to
everything.
That’s how
it unfolds.
