That Day the Sky was Grey

Spring was in full bloom

Yet, you’d find no clue.

Crimson soaked the ground,

Screams pierced through,

The open, musky air, while

Gas clogged tissue–

Paralyzed in the mud

Though Death seemingly had issue

Rescuing those from their plight. Watched

A man cry, his head split in-two.

There were no cries for a Savior

Off our tongues His name fell to,

The bodies of the forsaken

Eventually, we’d succumb too.

We are prisoners of sin

With faces flushed blue,

From suffocation—blood

Escapes strewn sinew.

Abaddon sullies Earth

So to the Skies Angels flew

As I begged for forgiveness, but

Inside I already knew.

Time was up, it was spent

Unrepentant—punishment was due

A fate worse than death,

Now mistakes I cannot undo.

My search for Him stopped years ago

So today His search stopped too

And at that time, When God turned His back to walk away

I realized that day, that the skies were grey.
