When Life Turns Completely Upside Down Poem by Gert Strydom

When life turns completely upside down,
with rain falling from a cloudless
bright blue sky,
careless you will throw your hair
over your shoulder
and we will drive miles from any town,
climb a small hillock
and sit on a huge boulder,

watch the sun smoulder
as if is going to set the world ablaze
while it is going down
and without a trace
we will disappear
as the darkness comes near.
