Inside a Cloud

Inside a cloud the lining shines with hope,
on paths that slip and slope, we grip on tight
to rope made from our inner strength to cope,
we always find a way in life to fight.

The road to happiness is felt within,
as soon as we begin to realize,
the win exists inside a smile or grin,
as letting go is worth the compromise.

The stresses and the strains will fade away,
good attitude today can change tomorrow,
allay your fear, removing all the grey,
alleviating grief and painful sorrow.

With positivity you’ll lead instead,
when little problems build inside your head.

Hi Darlene, thanks for your feedback, this one was tough to write. It has gone through more editing than most of my other poetry. Oh, by the way, The Letter Review Prize for Poetry shortlisted one my poems, "Trials of the Sea" it is on this site but the news was a pleasant surprise! Your friend, Ron
