New Day

The stars shone bright.
The day was filled with hope.
The world was silent and peaceful.
Cold, life-hating, dead stars
giving way to a new day.
The first day of a new world.
Filled with a hope that wouldn’t last.
On a world that would bear life.
Life that would destroy.
Destroy silence and peace.
Life that would be destroyed itself.
Destroyed in the very moment the freshly born world would die.
Long after silence and peace will be killed.
Long after the hope would have died.
When a new hope will be born.
Long before a new world is created.
And a new day filled with new hope will start.
