A sky full of clouds looks like a blank canvas.
While a canvas depicting a cloudy sky is full of paint.
Are nature and man so opposed?
Rain colors the world, paint colors the canvas.
Both Mother Nature and the artist’s hand can be gentle or cruel.
A violent flood, much needed rain.
A depiction of needless death, a depiction of love.
Is the comparison of artist to nature too kind?
A soldier can save lives as well as take them.
Just as rain can drown and revive life.
The same can’t be said of a shower of bullets?
The threat of bullets like a flood can bring people together.
Nothing is simple when it is akin to a cloudy sky.
The first three lines came to me on a cloudy day. The rest came to me after seeing Glenn die in The Walking Dead (I been reading the 6 issue trades 1~18 this summer after checking out and watching the first two seasons of the TV series on Blu-ray from my local library).

Interesting idea, and good rhythm to the poem. I was a bit confused at points though, it seemed like you had a lot of ideas in a tiny bit of space. Good work overall and keep it up!
