Sunrise

Red giant 

Towering apocalypse

Burning white 

Blistering scarred earth 

A beaten world 

Defeated by the enemy 

Of life 

Alien land 

Forgotten, alone, at peace 

No wars can break 

Strength in the darkness 

Of the unborn star 

Growing Sun 

For the last stand 

Takes the hand 

Pushes out 

From the womb of space 

The human race 

Has been destroyed 

By the giant ray 

Crushing brutality 

As earth is eaten up 

A tasty snack for 

The monster 

Once gave earth life 

Can take it 

Back in a flash 

Moving on 

Hears the Planets calling 

Earth can not reply 

Now is your time to die

Sunrise as the earth sets.... I'm reminded of someone's response to a discussion about pollution on earth and how that will destroy the planet....his reply - the earth will be fine its us humans that have to worry. Anyway, thanks for allowing the sun to bring its darkness. ( : O )

This beautifully write reminds me my one of the great poem called "NO NEW--SUNRISE".. (I had written this last month) ... I like how you capture the dark moments with the precious words of art ---- expressing the great mystery of this wicked world. ---- via your extraordinary words. Great job! I'm going to look forward to reading your stuffs!!
