Clouds At Her Feet

Clouds at her feet, she hangs her head Thinking she should have stayed in bed Days into nights just one big blur Masking effects of hard liquor As dusk gives way to stars of dread In an effort to block what’s said Before last fantasies are dead Dream being an adventurer Clouds at her feet Feelings of joy have all but fled She’d have to overcome this dread Rekindle passions deep that stir Ignite embers that do recur Take flight and soar full speed ahead Clouds at her feet AO: 2nd place 2021 Submitted on September 25, 2018 for contest END SEPTEMBER 2018 STANDARD sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST and July 27, 2018 for contest RONDEAU (Image #1) sponsored by JOSEPH MAY
