Terminally Moody Times

Moods shift like a wildfire in a violet -virulent wind.
Everything that flees is freed or scorched -scarred.
Everything left behind prays with unmatched intensity. 
Emotions and levity are assigned to the grave.

Some guardian angels are successful.
Others are perpetually on sabbatical. 
A few are just too damned green.
Or too blind to make any difference.

I'm told to have unwavering faith. 
But I always waver to the third degree.
I'm told not to question, but I always question...
With unmatched intensity....
We live in terminally moody times.
