Margaret Franceschini Poet Verse

Both Sides Now

Both Sides Now

Billowing clouds up above
Sometimes smoky or just dust
Bluebirds maneuvering through
While Butterflies withdrew

All my past loves float away 
As in vapored clouds today
Becoming concealed by the moon
Only returning in afternoon

  Consequently standing here
  Between the earth and atmosphere
  Taken from my innocence
  As I look back and reminiscence

Memories only display
A vivid image I’ll downplay
Recalling this won’t be allowed
I can see from both sides now 

Uncertain and feeling confused
Not knowing what my life will do
Covered in a canopy of tears
Wrapped in a trap of fears

  Consequently standing here
  Between the earth and atmosphere
  Taken from my innocence
  As I look back and reminiscence
