Creamy Clouds

I was dreaming my life was at stake
Insomnia screaming for me to awake
Because the past kept me up at night
In His tent, I am enlightened with His LIGHT
Somehow...
Someday, we will run away from the chaos and embrace peace that is at hand
Woke up from a dream
I repent and I'm at ease
I long for His mirth
I have grieved raindrops
It is almost time to leave
I have morphed into snow
Creamy clouds collide
Foam rises from the bathtub 
Swimming in bliss ride
Water drowns my grief
Gives me brief relief instead
Sky's blue, so are you
Melting in your arms
Blanket me with comfort dirt
I bud in springtime
Winter frost got me lost
Frozen...rooted to the spot
Break the ice...despised
Frost bites of your LUV
Made me feel above seven
You, the vibrant dove
Now, a winter crow
Cooing at the break of dusk
Lust turns to mere dust
Fire burns of your HATE
Made me feel below zero 
You, the dark vulture
Summer is in flames
I am in the back-burner 
You called me vile names
Thought you loved me back
You departed from my touch
Time unwinds this time
Brought down by envy
Move on - it's the hardest thing
Sky's black - so am I
Creamy rain-clouds frown
Water descends...down the drain 
I'm the ground...green-brown
Pouring sun saved me
Before I dug a self-grave 
I have morphed into sea
Cold on my bed...please...
Please forgive me, Lord Most High 
I float above Earth
Reality's demise alarms me
Alas, the world and I don't see
Because the creamy clouds of our fantasy
It doused us in sugar-coated delight and sunlit glee
Why now?
Someday, we'll be in liberty's land

Noticeably impactful choice of words throughout. Hell, the "Creamy Clouds" part alone was enough to spark my imagination. Nice descriptive piece, J. What was the motive to write this piece, dare I ask?

Glad I sparked inspiration in your life and fantastic imagination as well. My motive was my daily struggle of insomnia, suicidal thoughts of the past and depression and rising from it (I'm bipolar too). Have a blissful day.
