This scholar of night created chords of a symphony
a grinding curiosity appetite to quench, higher reality to see
swelling planets under colliding stars swinging, squishing, and expanding
serene violet garlands sparkling, spiraling into nothingness
unforgiving forces pushing and pulling
surrounding life in absence of life beyond reach, pride, or care
all the while, grows a blissfully unaware emptiness
for light years, light months, light days
renowned illusions unraveled in a vacuum
Hawking, witty spacetime scholar, you’ve left us with big black hole
