Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of cloudy mornings

Black Wool Clouds

Black wool clouds carried by currents
float gently by, rain laden
Above the sky-blue sky reveals
jet streaks, clouds hold back morn's sun

Bumble bees hum in unison
Sun beams through charcoal gray
Beautiful canvas painted by
the master, in memory stay

White blossoms cover the pear trees
Holly's small blooms draw bees
Early morn draws the poet's heart
Like spring lures bird's glee

As the sun's illumination
rises higher through the trees
turning gray clouds gold and tan
The poet's heart begins to see

Then the sun is covered with black
Only slivers of gold
remain, thoughts vanish in the fog
Clouds drown the soul again

Is there a solid opening?
Will life continue disturbed?
Can there be a valley of peace 
where a soul remains unperturbed?

This one is very poetic, Sara, how you drew it all back to the poet and the poet's contemplation of life when sky grows dark.

Andrea, We are going through a rough time again. God gives us trials to see how we handle the situation and if it matures us and also Satan can give us the blues if we grow in our walk with Jesus. It is hard to know which one is going on. I think this is from Satan though for it is not easy on me. Sara
