Poem Title:
Poem
That orange-pink sky takes my breath away. So pure and lovely it spreads across the horizon. But as the sky grows darker and darker The pink fades to purple The orange to red The light blue to a colder blue Night is coming. Before i knew it The sky was glimmering in stars The full moon shining brightly over head The wind picked up a bit And i shivered The night was cold And the dark made it colder. As an action to stay warm I pulled up my collar But it didn't work. I quickly made my way home Being sure no one saw For they didn't know i was out. For they didn't know i was waiting for my miracle. I wake up early the next morning And head outside. The birds were starting to wake up The sky was turning that soft pink color Of sunrise. I quickened my pace to make it on time. And just as it began i made it to the stop The sunrise was beautiful and it took away my breath. I smiled to myself and thought my wish. I had a feeling, Something good will happen. All i had to do was watch the sun set. With hope in my heart And joy filling my body I jogged home. The day was passing and the sunset was coming I needed to get out Right Now! I excused myself and quickly went outside I ran to the stop. Panting and tired i made it a little late The sky was an amazing orange/purple color I smiled despite the day i had. Once again the sunset was ending But today it was different Today a figure walked toward me And deep in my heart i knew it was you. 5 years, 8 months, 12 weeks 25 days, 24 hours, 30 minutes was all it took To see you walking back to me from war ALIVE. And all i did was Watch the Horizon Dedicated to all those families who have a loved one in the military. We wish for their safe return. God Bless them all!
