Those that See the Sunsets

June 2015... Some stuff Those that See the Sunsets
Clouds, streaked..... the skies.
Fluffy.... pink, at first!
And then deepened.... Red.
Dark streaks .... Like blood.
Drifting off to gold... And sunset.
And, I thought, of those ......
Who, no longer, see......the skies.
Or, any other, colour....
Those, who.... 33 years ago.
Fought for, and climbed a mountain.
And never left.
Now remain,
below blood red....
sunset skies,
On Mount Longdon.
