Children On High


Beneath a bare umbrella
my colors melt and run
from dark sunlight which turns to rain;

thunder rumbles, crashes
as lightening strikes the ground.
My thoughts are lost in moments
of God's sadness as Angels clash in anger.

Enlightenment befalls me that we are not
the only children he has who turn and let him down.

    Beautiful!

    A mystical beauty and wonder of a poem! Perfect rhythm and deep meaning! This poem is not only charming -- it has deep impact and deeply felt emotion! It conveys a mysterious feeling on the reader in a familiar yet, distant way. Great work! Good luck in the contest!
