From the Clouds To the Sea {swap Quatrain}

I watch the clouds as they drift by Like nameless faces in the sky They quiet all in me that’s loud As they drift by I watch the clouds Like the rain I shed my tears For I have finally faced my fears Bringing peace to what was insane I shed my tears like the rain As raindrops fall the river flows Nourishing the flower as it grows I have found peace in it all The river flows as raindrops fall The river drains into the sea As I learn to be all I can be Set free from all my pains Into the sea the river drains

this was a very peaceful piece of wonderful poetry. watching clouds is so relaxing anyway, i have wrote some poems about clouds. this was a enjoyable to read. thank you for reading my poetry and for your kind comments. and thank you for your comment about my Lowell ponds poetry. i wrote them all last summer. about 50 total. then i just ran out of ideas. i was very inspired going down there at first, then it just ended. but thank you and take care.

Beautiful poem, Michael. We all shed our tears, and sometimes it helps to wash away the hard times. If only we could let all of our cares flow into the sea, like the river you beautifully described. God Bless....Carrie
