Daring Antithesis

1 0 0
                                    

Held above the world

Like an unresolved conflict

Every night getting more unfurled

But never to be mimicked


Breathing life into Earth

Due to the space between the two

It would not flinch to cause a dearth

Of the very thing that allows you


Fluid in its natural state

Though solid and gaseous in others

Home to ancient life separate

From the life of which it smothers


Flickering in the dead of night

To bring its discoverers warmth and light

It brings with it a hidden side

As it struggles to survive


A time when all was not observed

But simply was, and much deserved

The time when all will be that way again

One last time before the cease of when


On or off, yes or no,

Succeed or fail, one or zero

A daring antithesis presents itself

To gather dust on your mind's shelf
