Notes About The Poem
Date written: 03/09/2025

I Choose To Dwell In The Clouds

The world has spun out of it's axis.
Gibraltar is crumbling down below.
Sequential order
Scattered to the four winds;
E n v e l o p e d 
In the conflagration of chaos.
Oh, trouble... 
Once again, you greet me 
From the stygian abyss.
You beckon from the hopeless place 
We departed,
But I must refuse you.
I've drifted away from you
Like tendrils of smoke.
It's too cold and isolating
Where you reside; 
I'm afraid I can no longer be 
Your ally in loneliness.
I choose to dwell in the clouds
Where the sun shines brightest.
I'd rather float up here 
With hope
As you lie in despair's ruins.
I'm comfortably at home
In my meridian splendor.

Gibraltar, great metaphor usage, EI. We have the word 'enveloped' in common i've noticed. At home in one's comfort is alright by me. Congratulations on your placement!

No longer you will be made to drift in loneliness in the icy region of hopelessness. You have made up your mind to soar high into the clouds where the sun shall shed sunny beams on you and make you comfortable so that you 'll stay in 'meridian splendor'! Beautiful poem, dear Edward. Congratulations on your high placement.
