Scintillating Summer Suppositions

Fallen

she was beautiful
graceful as she soars in the skies
nearly blending in with the gentle white clouds
projecting a sense of calmness and tranquility

she was loved
choirs of the heavens sang
as she passed
showered with affection

she was perfect
the ideal for all of them
the purest of them all
the most righteous of all

and then she wasn't

one day
she fell astray
banished away
as many held tears at bay

she

cast out
she fell in love
yet there were no singing doves
oh, alas that forbidden love

as if a brush painted
tainting the canvas

wings of ivory transformed into
those of a raven
feather by feather

strands of gold turned to the inky
black of hell
a bodice of white into pitch

yet her tears were still clear
streaming as she cried in pain
her heart ripped apart, soul laid bare
her efforts in vain

for she did not care
being cast out
yet her lover was gone
destroyed by the one
she called Father

she sat there on the surface
elegant and graceful
deadly and disastrous
as a black swan
