God must be resting

Or no longer has the time

To drown the world

Fiery bushes

Made great pronouncements but now

Everything just burns

Shaped us from clay

Left outside to dry and crack

Forsaken models

Thoughts and prayers

Whispers, screams lost on the wind

God must be resting

About the Creator

Shaun Walters

A happy guy that tends to write a little cynically. Just my way of dealing with the world outside my joyous little bubble.
