The tide turns to times tossed aside like leaves once gathered ; then in a pile we lit a match and watched smoke curls climbing to touch the sky, a puff of breeze is all it took to ignite our leaves to burn with glorious glow in the stillness of afternoon. When the ashes were left smoke scent remains on clothes that we changed together inside with tender touch of eyes no longer lashing at last moments lust.

Weighty, Sharron. Wait and hold; seems a good strategy on the shore of peace.

Yeah could happen. Coulda happened every day of the last 50 years. Probably not today either. Like the San Andreas they keep warning is going to eat us all this Thursday guaranteed, or Yellowstone surely surely surely gonna blow at quarter after ten this morning. Worry, fret, feed the ulcer, or enjoy that beautiful sky and be grateful to have seen it so many times. You guess right, I won't be standing on the edge of the ocean to see it.

Beautiful! The anthesis to this is Jacques Brel song, “If We Only Have Love”. It has so much hope.

This vaguely reminds me of the ending of Don't Look Up. Did you see that movie? They know it's coming so they pretend to live normally while they wait.

Spooky — and let’s hope not prophetic!

It feels to me like an all too real possibility - most days.

Oh dear. I hope that "Sphere" arrives to take them away before doomsday.

Demonstrates how little we control. There are larger elements at play, we have a minor role.
