I sat and gazed at the sky
Painted in cerulean blue
And wondered what it’s like
To be so powerful
So strong
So inviting
I continued to sit in silence
And my eyes nearly closed
A drop of moisture
Splashed on my face
Intensely it burned
Drawing my attention
Back to the heavenly canvass
I saw just moments ago
The once blue sky
Was now an abject portrait
Of pessimistic grays
And lackluster blacks
I wiped at my face
To dry the moisture
And cool the burn
And my fingers dripped red
The downpour progressed
Steady drops of blood
Covered my face,
Filled my eyes,
And caressed my soul
Frantically I wiped at my face
Trying to remove the drops
Before they stained
Before they hurt
I rose to my feet
Only to find
They were hidden
Hidden beneath a bloody pool
Of heaven’s tears
My life
was slipping away
My life
was not my own
The pouring rain
sweet agony
The pouring rain
Bitter distress
I tried to call out
Between the drops
I tried to ask forgiveness
But my voice
Was not my own
My soul had been contaminated
With disbelief
My lips had been diseased
With Satan’s evil words
And God,
Continued to cry
