The sky is blue

And breathing

The air is pure

With the rising sun

Horizon

Seems to cradle

The clouds

And not a single soul

Was in pain

I stand alone

Wondering why I’m here

I don’t belong

To this world

Shadows

And afterimages

A bad dream

That I cannot

Awake from

The sky is grey

With bated breath

The air is exhaled

To create a vacuum

Horizon

Is blocked by

An incoming rain

Silver drops

Hit my skin

Like falling

Mercury

Every soul

Stops in time

Halted by

An unseen façade

Bodies fall

All at once

A thunderous roar

Yet, I remain

Standing here

All alone

An ungodly

Silence

The atmosphere

Is reduced

To a brittle shell

And eyes perceive

A world of grey

Raindrops

That have fallen

From heaven

Have come

With the wrath

Of hell

This silver rain

Falls like knives

Stripping the bones

Of flesh

This silver rain

Falls like an acid

Dissolving

The monuments of Man

This silver rain

Falls like a fire

Leaving

A charred footprint

This silver rain

Falls

This silver rain

Falls on all

But me
