It has been a dark night. <br />we had the sword of damocles above our heads. <br />But we were strong <br />and we made our way through all of the tests. <br /> <br />Now there should come a new morning. <br />We didn´t expect to see the dawning of a dark sun. <br />Where are the fanfares and trumpets, <br />which should accompany our rise <br />out of the dark? <br /> <br />Each of us lost friends in this endless night. <br />But we never thought, we could die as well. <br />Now we have to face the one and only truth, <br />that noone is immortal. <br /> <br />While our skin starts to burn under the rising sun, <br />we recognize, that we were never supposed to come this far. <br />God, or whoever created this sick world, <br />never planned, that a human being would reach a point <br />somewhere beyond life. <br /> <br />Maybe we´re in heaven. <br />A heaven, noone saw before. <br />And melting in the sun we kill each other <br />to come home again.<br /><br />Nadine Hock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reaching-heaven-or-so/
