Affirmation

I hear,
An explosion, A shatter,
Ear drums rattle, mind dies -
A thousand times before,
One breath at a time
Numbed emotions, no despair.

I wait ,
My eyes on the horizon,
ever nearing, singed by the flaming ball
No tears, empty eyes.

I wake,
walk into the setting Sun,
Feeling,unbelieving,
Forgetting, confused.

Life affirms,
As I walk too far,
Singed again by
The setting sun,
I live.
