Canopies

Cerebral canopies
aglow as the soul’s prism of essence,
lifted as the heart’s throbbing parasol
used for survival shields against storms,
but they can’t always shelter
from the showers in sobs.

Weathering life’s tempest trials
raining as malevolence’s maelstrom,
depends on the hues
radiating from within,
love’s tint the most durable
in any crisis cloudburst.
