Tis my point of view

When life stops within one’s soul

Deviancy thrives

A Fire in the Sky – #poetry

There’s a fire in the sky,
A blaze in the night;
The phoenix has risen,
A harrowing sight.

Out of the ashes,
She burns like a flame;
Dare not touch her,
You’ll not be the same.

Anger has plagued her,
She’s out on a tear;
No mercy does she hold,
You better beware.

She’ll scald like acid,
Her touch is sure death;
Like a funeral pyre,
She’ll steal your last breath.

Coveting daylight,
She blocks out the sun
Engulfing, surrounding
There’s nowhere to run.

As she savages the land,
With a spark she does maim
Sad to say, we have only
Us humans to blame….

 

**Authors Note:  The incredible picture above was taken by my friend Sharon.  This was the sky, down the shore in NJ, last night.  Can you see the face in the fiery clouds? I chose to believe it was a phoenix, although I must admit it looks more devilish…

Haphazardly strung

A twisted barb penetrates

Unraveling threads

Inside, the core of despair

Tis humanity’s weakness

We polish our armor, in the hopes we look fine

But there’s a division, as to what’s yours and mine

How can we empty this hatred, from our hearts?

Let’s not bail on humanity, instead, do our part

Empathy ~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC #RDP

Without passion in our hearts, humanity will suffer

Especially, when temperatures inside, reach freezing

Instead, show empathy, there’s no need to be tougher

I’m pretty sure we will find that, a lot more pleasing
