A Different Sunset Poem by RIC BASTASA

sometimes there will be a sunset
different from the rest of the usual sunsets
the one that threatens us
of a darkness that does not give anymore
the hint of another day

we shiver to this idea
of an irreversible rule of evil

darkness in eternity
disorder forever

but come to think of it
that sunset cannot be true by all mean of our logic

hope sets the mold of the triumph of the good
the just and the sanity of reason

the hands of love keeps holding the light to our
freedom
from despair

we do not mind all these doomsday prophets
we keep the boat sailing
under the moon we shall hear more of the songs
of the happy angels

we have nothing to lose now
since everything is taken

what we keep is only ourselves
that promise that must take us to the other side of our
world

there they say
what is eternal is a sunrise.
