Well, in general I would post all my poetry and stuff in the Poetry thread I made, that was more for public poetry. But now that has died down, I thought I might as well make a writing thread for myself, see what happens! My contributions might be irregular though xD
Imagine if you will:
Imagine if you will, I placed a candle,
On a rocky cliff, in the shadow of night,
And I pulled on a match in which I struck,
To set this lonesome candle alight.
Imagine if you will, I placed another,
A metre apart, now on some clay,
I burned the new candle, and placed another,
And continued to place more until the day.
Imagine if you will, I did this forever,
Until every corner of the earth was in flame,
Every ocean and mountain, every crack and crevice,
There was no area that the candle did not claim.
Imagine if you will, these candles had burned,
From even before I had begun to place them,
That when the universe was birthed, the candles ignite,
Across the earth throughout all of time's stem.
Imagine if you will, the earth on fire,
Ignited by candles from time's beginning,
And all the energy and power released,
Was condensed into one, single happening.
Imagine if you will, this happening was quick,
In a split second, in less time you could think,
And this happening was created by no less than man,
And this happening had happened in a single blink
Imagine if you will, the power of these candles,
Burning across the earth, across time, like a star,
Imagine if you will, the true power of man,
The true extent of our creation, the power of the Tsar.
I did a calculation, if you placed a candle on every square metre of the earth and ignited every candle at the same time and did so every year since the big bang, the entire power done by all those candles is roughly equal to the power done by the peak intensity of the Tsar Nuclear bomb explosion.
