the angel of devastation
wished to drink the ocean
and swallow the sun.

the sky split open and erupted
in brutal rays of color
clouds flooded the earth
in a powdery blue torrent

the small winged angel
making an appearance
plants began to play symphonies.
striking tunes that made
children giggle and adults weep

the angels silver lined wings
diaphanous, delicate things
shredded to pieces.
the seraph was an artists muse
picked apart and discarded.

led towards
hope
and light
and longing.

only to be deceived by
vague uncertainties
of an artist painting with smoke,
thin wisps attempting to capture
those diaphanous, delicate wings

so the angel
split the earth,
opened the pandora's box
and watched as the planet was
thrown into chaos
