The Heavens Fall; The Wisdom Seeker stood high above the desert plain. He had just arrived, having entered this world through a space portal. The Shepherds of the Cosmos had sent him to this planet to witness future events that had been prophesied to unfold.                                                                               Before him, the Sun illuminated the valley of shining yellow sand and tall green mountains that stood tall on the horizon. In his hand, as he always did, he carried his staff constructed from meteor rock, topped with a globe of star glass.                                                                                      Within minutes of his arrival, the staff became warm in his hand, and the star glass began to give off a bluish glow. The ground where he stood started to tremble and vibrate violently, each tremor a countdown to the impending catastrophe. As quickly as the ground started to shake, it stopped moving, and all became still.                                                                                                      And then the unthinkable occurred. The Moon, which had hung high in the heavens for all these years, had broken free from its orbit and was coming streaking downward to the planet where it crashed with a mighty thud as it smashed into the ground, erupting earth and grass, causing the ground to shake once again and throwing dust into the air.                                                                   When the ground finally stopped quivering, and the dust settled, the Moon sat in a vast crater in the middle of the desert. There, it was joined by stars that had fallen, littering the landscape with debris from the heavens above.                                                                                                          The Wisdom Seeker stood in shock as he realized that what he had just witnessed was an event he had never experienced before and hoped never to experience again. The enormity of it then struck him, and now he knew why he had been requested to travel to this planet. He was there to record and behold the beginning of the death of a planet.                                                                         As he started to document the dramatic cosmic event, thinking it was over, the Sun went dark. Then, like someone flipping a switch, it came back on. It became apparent to him that there was nothing else left for him to witness, knowing that the planet he stood on was near death.                           Tapping his staff upon the ground three times, a crackling noise filled the air, accompanied by a clap of thunder. The air in front of the Wisdom Seeker became blurry, and then, with a snap, it opened to create a portal.                                                                                                                As he walked to the open portal, he looked around at all the destruction that lay before him and said, “May the ever-watchful eye of the Moon, Sun, and Stars protect you.” Then he stepped through the portal, and it snapped shut for the final time on this planet.                                                https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/The-Heavens-Fall-by-AngelWingArt/171724254.D681C        https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-heavens-fall-david-krafcik.html
