463 Black holes July, 2012

We all face our own black holes.
Some peer into theirs with doomed stares.
Others aim well tested search lights
to imagine diamond reflections in the dark..
Others hold their breaths,
squeeze their noses,
plunge into black.
The method means nothing.
No one’s getting back.
What matters is that stunning
surprise
in the midst of the dive
when the mass we were
evanesces
into the energy we are,
then lightnings
into eternity.
