It was a normal day, 66 Million years ago
Majestic Creatures were roaming on our planet
Eating, Playing, Sleeping
Living a life which was about to be cut short...
A Cosmic invader flew past the Moon silently
Intending to strike the Blue marble.
To wipe the beauty of this Fantastic world…
The invader struck the Atmosphere at impossible speeds
But, just like a Protective Mother,
The atmosphere took the Last Stand against this Invader.
It tried everything in its power to keep the invader out.
Burning the Invader with the heat of a Star
Shaving off its surface with Friction
Turning itself into a wall of fire and plasma
All to protect the Children it gave rise to,
To protect its Garden from being violently uprooted
But ultimately, The Atmosphere yielded…
It had to in the face of such a Cosmic Force
The invader struck one of the Blue Oceans.
The ocean rose impossibly high and flooded inland
Fire rained down from the heavens itself
The ground Trembled with impossible force
Magma Poured out from volcanoes clouding the Skies in dark soot
Photosynthesis collapsed, Creatures starved, silence took life’s place
The Atmosphere Sobbed…
Turning grey in the guilt of not being able to protect its children
But… when the soot cleared
When the oceans retreated
When the ground calmed down
Against all odds,
Life had prevailed
The Atmosphere although Guilt-ridden, nurtured its remaining children in an effort to rebuild the Beauty of this incredible Planet
Eventually giving rise to a bipedal creature Eons in the future
Capable of understanding the Apocalypse that had once played out
The Apocalypse that gave rise to it
And unknowingly, Sheds a Tear for all the lives lost in it….
