Attack Ships On Fire/The Setting Sun of Life - A poem

Attack Ships On Fire/The Setting Sun of Life

 

I have seen things you would not believe...

 

I have seen the sun setting beyond thick rainclouds - lighting them up a pinky grey...

 

I have seen a smile on a face that had never smiled before...

 

I have seen snow-capped mountains going off into the horizon...

 

I have read stories of love and lived in them...

 

I have smelled the grass and flowers and trees pregnant with damp moisture...

 

I have heard children forming their first words...

 

All these things…

 

Like they would go on forever...

 

How would you feel if you knew you were seeing your last sunset?

 

Would you love it more?
