The collapse of time

I was looking at the ceiling, at night.

I have been looking at my ceiling,

under my roof, late at night.

I saw, my lights falling down,

the windows would break 

and I would laugh out, loud.

The furniture shattered all my candles,

at once.

I look and watch, outside 

and see children play in the streets.

The Sun shines, as never before,

as if I could rhyme, it All.

I hear the floors coming down,

on me, the sky tries to disappear,

I smile, by now,

time collapsed.
