Sounds In the Sky

The sun melts the milky way
Sending balloons shaped
Like electric eels

While dinosaurs cry rivers
That flow through the eyes and ears
Of every living insult

Filling sanctuaries
For smiling souls
Frozen in laughter

As false god's of mercy
Tremble in canyons
Shimmering with gold

The days are upon us
When all shall see
Reflections of our past

Chasing echo's from
                 
                                 Bellowing


                                               Planets
Shattering
Our existence
