Everything is fine

Poem

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

far away

Maybe heaven isn’t in a cloud

It’s down here with you

Far away

Maybe heaven isn’t in high up and in space

Maybe we’re trying

But we’re stuck in a loop

Pixie with painted hips

Shrugs and kisses away your bliss

Blues are a designed symbol of life’s rotting undercarriage

Of a golden, gleaming shell,

Maybe blues live in a cloud

And rain down on us all

To disperse it in little ways

Or flood others,

Far away from painted windows

I live in one of your big blue tears,

Droplet, perfect, a bubble

A nebulous, neglected, blue turquoise

Gloss,

Everything is fine as I breathe in your eye river,

It’s like heaven

And everything is fine

    Wow! So fluffy and light with a storm cloud intensity all at once! And the line "Blues are a designed symbol of life’s rotting undercarriage" so perfectly eloquent!
