Melting In the Sun

The Fog covering the sky
Like a blanket bringing it to darkness
People running, Creatures scattering
To escape the cold
Men, women, cats and dogs alike
All running to flee the dark sky
Flies buzzing, to elude the harsh damp air,
Noises of cars screeching to avoid destruction
As some of  them fail
Then as if destroying it’s cage 
A light breaking through to the sky
A red warm fire across the horizon
Burning, Melting,
Bright smiles looking up
Looking up to the melting sky

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
