Beneath A Fiery Sky Of Red

Those haunting memories long ago when we were children, you and I they visit me on lonely nights as ticking of the clock goes by There is no balm to soothe the heart nor fill the void that lingers where you always stood, sweet lover, friend beside me here without a care We chased the sun along the hills in hopes it wouldn't get away Beneath a fiery sky of red we'd watch the sunset end the day This world that you departed from cares not for shattered hopes and dreams The life together that we planned was never meant to be, it seems So many summers came and went since we last sat together here beneath a fiery sky of red to watch the sunset disappear © Mike Wise 11-19-24
