The Mess [Is Unusually Picturesque] (Poem)

(Originally posted on my Instagram account --> @denaeculp.writer)

Have you wondered why the sky continues to
Boast its shade of infant blue
And the wind carries its tune through supple shrubs
As if the earth isn't breaking
Beneath our clumsy feet
A little more each day?

Have you ever wondered why we get to hear
The savory cleansing of happy tears
From the silver fox clouds above us as we focus
On other things unimportant,
Why the stains of the world
Never seem to show when the deity takes a photograph
With Heaven's camera and shows us the image?

Always another reason to smile at the soft things
Always another reason to cry at the falsehoods
And half-truths
And endless salvation that the rain bestows.

-D.
