Sometimes I wonder
What it’s all about.
Is it written in the stars?
Can you read it in the tea?
Can you find it in the bars
Of Tahiti?
Or can you see it through the bars of Orion
With the eyes of a cat and the roar of a lion,
Is it looking for you?
Is it looking for me?
Or will you and I forever be
Lost in the night?
***
Once I found love
Then I let it go
It slipped through my fingers
Like fast-melting snow
I got down on my knees
I so wanted to pray
But I forgot the words
And I heard myself say...
I’m feeling lonely
And lost in the night
Love come and find me
Arrow take flight
Don’t let me be lonely
And lost in the night

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
