PASSING OF LIFE

A

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
The Sun is Burning in The Sky,
 Strands Of CLOUDS Go Slowly  drifting ; by.
 In the Park, the dreamy bees are droning
in the flowers among the trees
 And the sun burns in the sky

  Now the sun is in the west
  Little babes lay down to take there rest,
  And the couples in the park are holding hands
and waiting for the dark
  and the sun is in the west

  Now the sun is sinking low.
  Children playing know its time to go
  High above a spot appears ,
a little blossom blooms and then draws near ,
  And the sun is sinking low ,

Now the sun has come to earth
shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
of hellish heat  and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to earth .

Now the sun has disappeared
All that,s left is darkness, pain and fear .
Twisted sightless wrecks of men
go crawling on there knee and cry in pain
AND THE SUN HAS DISAPPEARED .

                                       
             
 
Very moving at the same time frightening

Now we go into the silence.
Out of the sun still burning
The earth once soft and warm
Crumbling with ancient wood
Below the caps of the grasses
And the roots of the vines
Below the eye
The ear
Into death and silence.

Thats the trouble you are to serious.................... :2funny:
 
My favorite verse of all time on death is this which I did not write and I don't think anyone has ever found out who did

If you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember......Do not grieve
For if the darkness and the shadows leave
A vestige of thoughts .....that once I had
Better by far .....you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember .....
And be Sad.....
 
:angel: You right Beyrl
Christina wass obsessed by thoughts of death and in "Remember" she asks her beloved to remember her when she is dead, because that is all that he will be able to do for her.
Then, she assures him that even this is not necessary and that all she asks is that he himself should not be unhappy:

"Remember"

Yet if you should forget me for awile
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that I once had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
 
It was a Simon and Garfunkel cover off the 'Wednesday morning 3 am' Album.
Literally describing the explosion of a nuclear Bomb.
