Black Hole

Philip

Born with the death of a giant star

lies a black hole in our sky

 

Stars spin round the accretion disc

like a needle on a forty five

 

Gravity plays it's darkest tune

holding light against it's will

 

It's lawless physics hold a secret

infinite density

 

Meeting the event horizon all is calm

time stands still

 

Cross the horizon, theres no going back

Just black

    What happens to or where is all the matter and energy absorbed by the black hole? One of the great mysteries of our time. Do all the black holes eventually consume everything? Do they then consume each other? Do we get a second Big Bang? Too many questions. Too few answers. Great poem Loved it. - Phil A
