Amidst the vast expanse of sky and space,
A comet traverses with grace,
A fiery trail behind its tail,
A wonder to behold, a cosmic tale.
But when does it become a meteor,
A streaking flash of light and fervor,
A shooting star, a fleeting glimpse,
A moment\'s glory before it dims.
A candle flickers in the dark,
Its flame a tiny, fragile spark,
Yet with each passing hour it grows,
A beacon of hope, a source of glow.
But when does it become a blaze,
A raging inferno that amazes,
Devouring all in its path,
A force of nature, unbridled wrath.
A ripple forms upon the sea,
A gentle wave, a whispering plea,
A movement felt but barely seen,
A fleeting moment, a passing dream.
But when does it become a tidal wave,
A surge of power that cannot be tamed,
A force that shakes the very earth,
A tsunami of death, a catastrophic birth.
Reason is a voice of logic and sense,
A guiding light, a defense,
A tool to navigate this world,
A means to an end, a banner unfurled.
But when does it become the blame,
A weapon used to cause pain,
A shield for those who do wrong,
A justification for harm all along.
A child is born with heart and mind,
A creature of complexity, one of a kind,
With virtues and flaws, with hopes and fears,
A life to live, a story to hear.
But when does he become a monster,
A creature of darkness, a horror,
A perpetrator of evil, a sym
bol of hate,
A destroyer of life, a cruel fate.
