There is pounding,
The pavement rumbles
There is screeching overhead
The stoic buildings crumble
As the once-blue sky erodes
To frightening colours
Darkness streaks the air
The tattered man who prophesied
All this, scrambled for his life,
Not believing his own words
Yet bragging about the impending doom
The once-stern businessmen
Begins to find humour in this
Insanity, hysteria arises
They are all running
To unknown places
Struggling for an answer,
For a way out
But there isn't.
I lay in your arms
Under the apple tree
I'm dreaming of galaxies
Far away from here
We're jumping from planet to planet
Putting stars in our pockets
As we eke away from existence
I pull back into the present
And I smile at your bravery
There is a twinkle in your eyes
That affirms everything
There is a calm tenderness in our hearts
We acknowledge the truth
Without fear or panic
There is nothing to regret
For we didn't need a catastrophe
To confirm our love,
No realization to be reached
And in this chaotic change
Our love remains still,
In this moment.
