Fire and Ice
by Robert Frost
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 know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
The Earth will be consumed by the sun as it expands into a red giant passed our orbit several billion years from now.
Long since uninhabitable, the moon is also moving away from the earth a little bit each year too.
What ever possibly becomes of humans by then? We will either be extinct or some kind of gods I imagine.
Either way, not our problem.
"the moon is also moving away from the earth a little bit each year too."
So, are the tides getting a little bit lower each year too?
Fire and Rain
by James Taylor
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now
"The Earth will be consumed by the sun as it expands into a red giant passed our orbit several billion years from now."
If a car passing your house is passed by another car as it goes past your line of sight, you will only see the one car pass as the passing car is hidden by the car going past your house until both cars are past.
