Indiana Shaw Poet Couplet

In My Grief

In my grief, I shot down stars one by one
I did not stop until my anger was all done
  
Until the blue sky, was as dark as my soul
Until the universe was one blackened hole

Life became a vacuum, it's suffocating me
I wailed upon the earth like some banshee

I leashed upon others, my tormented soul 
To destroy life as we knew it, was my goal

As rains poured until they became storms
Out of the deep rivers came poison foams

I saw all that before me all withered & die
All because my anger would not let me lie

No one given soul could prevent my wrath
As I destroyed all that was within my path 
 
Earthquakes flattened, and shattered land 
People dying, but here I was, to still stand

The earth, the skies blackened as my soul
Deeper into that blackness, I dug my hole

"till my grief subsided, I've reached a calm
With nothing left now, within my own palm

Then came upon me a light; shining bright 
You sought me out, as brought me to light

The stars returned, came back one by one
When realized just what I had done wrong 

I had sold my soul so life could start again 
Where I'd suffered in hell for all of my pain
