Quote by C.S. Lewis

“Suddenly the lights of the Universe seemed to be turned down. As if some demon had rubbed the heaven’s face with a dirty sponge, the splendor in which they had lived for so long blenched to a pallid, cheerless pitiable gray.”

“The Path We Must Walk by Stewart Stafford From dust, we are conjured, And, to black hole dust, return, Greater than parts that made us, From first breath to a cremation urn. O rake the ashen cinders over, With smiling teardrops past, A speck of dust, every echo, In an inner eye, fading fast. The cheerful moon, light in darkness, A hint of blazing celestial glory, Thawing all terrestrial tension, Life's character, a remembrance story. From fleshly body to a child of light, Weather kissing an empty grave, Wilting flowers nod to obsolescence, Sentiment, memory, unharmed to save. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.”

“The world is white and bright and terrifying. My head is an over-ripe watermelon, ready to burst. My eyes are stinging, and my skin burns. My limbs are heavy, as though someone has poured molten lead into my veins. I can't turn my head, can't speak, can't see beyond this white-white-white. I'm dead, just like all the other kids this epidemic has taken away. Hell is a bright light searing your retinae. Heaven is a myth. I close my eyes. Wait for the reckoning.”
