SYMPATHY

Sympathy takes many forms.
 Yours may be the touch that warms.
Maybe 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?
