If It Can Fly

The moon's too bright, ghostly white, I know what
this now means.
This is the final night, no more sunlight, no more
wishes or dreams.
The oceans will rise, right before our eyes; the seas
will all become one.
If it can fly, it will fly, if it can cry. it will cry, warnings
there was none.
 
Tomorrow won't come, no morning sun, only time
to kiss goodbye.
Nowhere to run, Earths time is now done, no time to
even ask why.
I see tall trees disappear, people in fear, buildings
effortlessly swept aside.
Panic all around, sirens loudly sound, mountain sides
crumble and slide.
 
The cast iron shore is no more, we are at the mercy of
natures cruel hand.
The Liver Birds flee, no escape will they see, between
the skies and the sand.
No point being brave, there’s no reason to save, only
time for regret.
I see a huge wave, an apocalyptic grave, the end planet
Earth has now met.

Mike,
You have expertly composed a poem depicting the end times which could be closer than we think. The imagery is excellent. It is compact and descriptive in every sense of the word, with even a touch of emotion.
A great piece of writing
Thanks
Keith
