"I wandered lonely as a cloud”
Quote by - William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a gallivant
Looking for some ways to fill up my days
I came across a mighty swarm of ants
And was completely blinded in the haze
When the air cleared I heard claps of thunder
My heart sunk, there was I going under.
Each cloud exhibits a dazzling side
In my view, gossip is plain to see
But I'm certain the adage is implied
It was joyful to view this bloom of glee
How can I be certain, you wonder?
I'll assess what pushed us asunder.
I recognized the bloom in the sky
Moreover, the crowd pushed me down
I just remained there and froze in dismay
My ribs were slamming and shifting around
Lastly, I was kept in a hospice room
As doubtful as the light, I'm in a gloom.
This bed is where I spend a lot of time
My mental image has instantly formed
Anger, apathy, or tearful glazed grime
Those pink, murky clouds above warned
The agony then spreads across my chest
But I still warn myself to do my best.
