Today's prompt was to write about something huge.
I am going to write about what is huge in my life at the moment.
Overwhelm
Tears beget tears
until sadness is a lake
with soundless depths.
Cool and icy, silver as a sword,
steadily it rises until
horizon is water-marked.
Sadness begets sadness
until sorrow is a moon
that orbits days, invisible.
looms over every night,
pulling the tides in hearts
phantom-like and cold.
Sorrow begets sorrow
until despair is a planet; Jupiter-huge
with Titan storms, ferocious grey,
ringed with debris of worry.
Giant of fact overshadowing
earth's shine.
Despair begets despair
until darkness is an universe
of doused stars and endless void.
Where nothing is bigger
than everything and meaning
a weightless lie.
