Stronger Than Fear

Haven Frombgen

When the world ends, I am surrounded by Those scattered now: The ones I love. While the world erupts, Its life coming to a close, I smile. The joyful laughs and daily banter, The clang of forks as we eat together, The soft swish of the cards as we play our last game. Buzz of the TV, till all is snores, My last song shall be that of daily life.

When the world ends, There is no separation, no divisions. Finally all pain disappears, Surrounded, encircled by all those who care. Although it’s the end it is a start We smile together As we hold hands, Our love for each other stronger than fear.

As the world implodes Yells and screams fill the air, Everything changed to a new darkened light. Through all this I stand, Who knows what’s to come, Or what’s beyond the red flames But still I smile Everything comes to a close, We are here forever we stand together

Say our last words as we are carried away. The red flash, black pit, yellow sparks All say goodbye. Into the still we step Unknown but still unafraid -- Together we go Not knowing if it’s an end or a start.
