Carolyn Devonshire Poet Couplet

Behind the Clouds

Behind the Clouds

Is that your face I see in the clouds
Wearing a sapphire-studded crown

Soft winds usher changing formation
Each passing breeze, new revelation

A prince’s sad frown turns upside down
A joyful smile, witnessed from the ground

Only for a moment it endures
But I won’t forget that smile of yours

My head to pillow, it recreates
And wondrous dreams your smile generates

Some people say the mind is a maze
Yours is amazing; interest you raise

Such qualities are not found in clouds
I settle for smiles when nature allows
