i have seen
with my own eyes
not in a dream
the colour of an angel's wings.

the sun was behind a cloud
in exhaustion
just after it rained
towering,
growing,
swelling,
the sun bleached it white
so bright
my eyes couldn't seem to take it,
it bloomed,
terrible, terrifying,
power-
that had to be the colour
that had to be
some sort of blessing.
