Each passing cloud Poetry Contest

3rd place in the contest

- Each Passing Cloud -

The wind creates clouds
in all shapes and sizes
Lying on the grass
with memories from childhood
As sweet thoughts in a dream
a little girl in summer shoes
Never forgot you
just lost sight of you a few times
Clouds slide past the eyes
and form impermanent figures

No one gets too adult
to play with the imagination
With thoughts and goodwill
where the happiest moments occur
The puzzle pieces fall into place
and one knows in a wonderful way
that we are a atomic grain of dust
in a larger context
With these memories my mind heals
-   the clouds slide on

Eve Roper March 6, 2023 at 10:20 AM Love your verse. When I was little around 8 and up I use to lie on the front yard and just watch the clouds, it really gave me comfort. I still do sometimes not lie , but just stand and look up to watch the scene. Hugs my friend Anne-Lise Andresen March 6, 2023 at 11:51 AM - Easy to lie down ... difficult to get up again :))) - But standing or sitting is fine ... many thanks for the lovely comment, Eve :) - hugs
