Signs were seen upon the sky Constellations faded before the eye, As each one disappeared from view So those born were doomed to die, And as the cosmos blinked Light, Stars, Faded, Became dim, then the stars did die, And with the demise Those born of that time, Passed beyond, For with the signs gone Where ever they were Death, Demise, Extinction, Was at hand, with each erased So were their lives, As if stars exhaled, they breathed one last time, As the stars did extinguish Millions of tiny lights died, Only the twelve signs were fading Others stars still shone bright, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, They diminished till nothing The constellations did die, A world of many, became the few But those born on the days of, Ophiuchus, They still stood Never to die, as others had past, And the Zodiac's died, The serpent Bearer He kept them apart, Life And Death But his struggle was eternal For each was of just strength For if one did for but a moment squeeze, A balance lost, then each pulled apart Venomous,   Dark Constellations Light For a moment went dark, It would take Centuries For light, To struggle from The dark, And so it was from time past For that time to come, Births did only happen Between the days November 30th, & December 17th, No new births out of this time Many were lost, Many lights shone on Till that time, When the constellations Were once bright in the sky, The thirteenth sign Serpent bearer, Would look over us all, the same and one.

The Twelve Signs
Signs were seen upon the sky Constellations faded before the eye, As each one disappeared from view So those born were doomed to die, And as the cosmos blinked Light, Stars, Faded, Became dim, then the stars did die, And with the demise Those born of that time, Passed beyond, For with the signs gone Where ever they were Death, Demise, Extinction, Was at hand, with each erased So were their lives, As if stars exhaled, they breathed one last time, As the stars did extinguish Millions of tiny lights died, Only the twelve signs were fading Others stars still shone bright, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, They diminished till nothing The constellations did die, A world of many, became the few But those born on the days of, Ophiuchus, They still stood Never to die, as others had past, And the Zodiac's died, The serpent Bearer He kept them apart, Life And Death But his struggle was eternal For each was of just strength For if one did for but a moment squeeze, A balance lost, then each pulled apart Venomous,   Dark Constellations Light For a moment went dark, It would take Centuries For light, To struggle from The dark, And so it was from time past For that time to come, Births did only happen Between the days November 30th, & December 17th, No new births out of this time Many were lost, Many lights shone on Till that time, When the constellations Were once bright in the sky, The thirteenth sign Serpent bearer, Would look over us all, the same and one.
