The Reality

magic oozes out of the sky 
as it slowly turns
from a burnt orange hue 
to a smoky ash grey 
I look at it 
as the grey slowly crawls into the orange 
like a slow flood 
consuming it whole 
but the orange doesn't back down 
the orange fights back with all its might
until the sky is just grey enough 
for the orange to still be seen 
the sky is now an orange-blue gradient 
I will fight through this
