Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
("Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost)

ReplyDeleteBy fire, or by ice death may come flying from nowhere, but it saddens me to see humankind is dying in the raging brutality rooted deep within the heart of each and every one of us. The anger, the hatred, the racism, the selfishness within us builds up greater ripples outside us, and kills us before we perish in fire or ice.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly a stunning sky, looks as if painted by brushstrokes of colour. Stunning.;))
