IF I LOSE THE PLANET<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Losing Earth was harsh;<\/p>\n

First we lost the sun…<\/p>\n

We had warmth, but did not know from where;<\/p>\n

The moon had a shadow, and it did provide light.<\/p>\n

Maybe it kept the warmth, or the planet was warmed…<\/p>\n

generations ago.<\/p>\n

It’s 2120, and one hundred years ago,<\/p>\n

my grandfather was born into a virus;<\/p>\n

he never got it …<\/p>\n

neither did his parents.<\/p>\n

They were lucky, safe.<\/p>\n

Resilient, perhaps?<\/p>\n

He told me, for years…<\/p>\n

How Earth had light …<\/p>\n

And light had no sound.<\/p>\n

His parents were deaf,<\/p>\n

so they also had no sound.<\/p>\n

He taught me to hear inside;<\/p>\n

as he was taught by them.<\/p>\n

We will travel out, if we have to…<\/p>\n

I wonder if the sun still exists?<\/p>\n

Somewhere, it must.<\/p>\n

For I know, if it is remembered;<\/p>\n

it still is.<\/p>\n

And I still feel it.<\/p>\n

I was born the day before<\/p>\n

the Moon Shadow phase.<\/p>\n

I remember the Sun.<\/p>\n

I feel I heard it.<\/p>\n

It had a sound for me.<\/p>\n

Not anymore.<\/p>\n
