Night Time Thoughts

My mind is like a clear blue summer’s sky
And my memories are like clouds rolling by
Most they are beautiful, pure and white
But when I sleep when I lay down at night
Dark clouds build and overwhelm all that’s pure & white,
Like a summers storm they gather with menace 
The wind that drives them is fear & regret
 And I have-not managed to control either yet
So like a storm that is coming, the first drops of rain fall
And again I’m caught out in the open
And have to weather the storm
