Life is the longest thing we have, yet it is still too short
In the marathon of time a sunset is but a meter, gone in the click of a finger. But it stretches across the horizon from both ends of the sky, and if you were to chase it you would find it only grows dimmer....

The Longest Night
The darkest of mornings, Light creeping slowly, very slowly, Round the edges of my world, As the day begins. All day a half light struggles to make an impact But loses the battle And dusk takes over far too soon, And this shortest of days Descends into darkness. This day has been a study in greys and black, Skies dark, moods black, thoughts...

Premium Member what two rives are the longest in the world
When I asked the fifth grade students to guess What two rivers are the longest in the world I was not surprised with Missouri and Mississippi. Many are not global thinkers. Most had not heard of the Nile or the Amazon. Both of these are over four thousand miles long. Where the Amazon ends is uncertain. But they are within fifty miles...

Longest Day 6 June 1944
I’m just an old man in a blazer Here to try and tell the truth About that longest longest day That brought an end to my youth. No heroic thoughts as I struggled up the sand Into the chaos of that Foreign and alien land, Just a sense of confusion, Panic, mind numbing fear, A sense of bewilderment wondering why am I...

Premium Member We Shan'T Forget You - Battle of Britain's Longest Day August 15
They were young starry-eyed, yet too soon so many had to die. Brave to a fault with wanderlust of youth, no challenge spurned however seemingly uncouth. In azure blue skies with only clouds as friends, they sought their prey through war's myopic lens. No quarter given and none spared by their foes, incandescent bullets superseding schoolyard blows. Skill and...

Longest 365 Days
They, we, I, made it. One year with a little more knowledge and somewhat of a grasp over the idea that 4  became 3 and 1, some ash. It's been a whole 365 days, and you still have not come back. I believe some small part of me wanted this to be a nightmare...

Premium Member The Longest Night
Give me the longest night only us together; Just for a brief moment my lips pressed to your neck; I’ll memorize the scent; Give me the longest night, that music in your moan; It’s okay if I bleed, sharpen me with your nails; Everything inside freed; Give me the longest night, where you are the center; Hold your foot on my clutch; Push past the breaking point, right...

The Night Before the Longest Day
The night before the longest day a man Went walking on the chalk path on the hill Collecting stars. He had a little pan To sift them as they fall, for fall they will Some crumble quickly into silver dust But others do remain, and of them rings Are made, and spells to satiate the lust Of wild priestesses and...

My Longest Day
Night had been short, I still was highly tired for my bones had been badly maltreated during exhausting marches. I admired comrade John who recently had cheated the Reaper in the north at Stamford Bridge. I left the troops and headed for a beech where I relieved myself. The coming fight transformed it into a cesspool, this ridge. King Harold on his horse...
