Grey Canvas

A grey canvas, the heavens weep.

tears taken from the sad and the joy.

A gloomy mood provided from the angels:

A time to reflect

 

A pool for the air, the cars struggle

to swim through, the folk with

plastic shields to remain dry.

their feet dragging through the puddles.

 

the children stare out the window,

groaning and whimpering at the tears from the sky.

the watch their saturday morning cartoons,

a distraction from nature.

 

as everyone resets and sleeps away,

the angelic weep begins to decay,

as the sun shines, and reflects the moon,

the angels rise in a better mood.
