Sympathy


                                         Briton Riviere

ABC WEDNESDAY


(Letter 'S')


An Acrostic suggested by Acrostics Only.
  
SYMPATHY

Sympathy takes many forms.
 Yours may be the touch that warms.
M
aybe you'll mend a heart that's broken,
Perhaps with words that remain unspoken.
A simple touch on someone's hand,
To show you really understand,
Has the power of empathy.
 You may set a sad heart free.

BLACK HOLE!

Imagine it!
There you are,
Mooching along in Space,
When you suddenly start to
E....long.....ate!
*
Too late you realise that
Like a piece of string,
Being sucked down a plug-hole,
You are entering
A Black Hole!
*
You are reaching
The Event Horizon!
*
You start to disintegrate!
This is it!
The Singularity!
'The Point of no Return!'
*
'Abandon hope
All ye who enter here!'
Indeed!
*
For
Nothing can escape
A Black Hole!
Not even Light!
(That's why it's Black!)
*
Once upon a time,
Your Black Hole was a Star!
It had a gravitational pull,
Like our Earth.
*
Then it collapsed!
It's gravity turned on it!
It sucked in and in and in,
Until nothing was left
But a dot!
But a dot with the gravitational pull
Of a Star!
*
And now it's gotcha!
This is the stuff of nightmares!
*
'Sucked In!'
You've heard that cry?
*
This is it!
*
But, fear not.
Our Sun is too minor
To behave this way.
*
Earth is safe too.
*
Looked at it that way
It's good fun!
*
Isn't it?

People are afraid to show sympathy, not wanting to say the wrong things. One should try anyway.

So that's what they are called, acrostics, new word for me and wonderful sentiment.
I don't want to be elongated in a Black Hole, maybe it will take us into an alternative reality instead.
