Notes About The Poem

This is not for the contest. Just a little dedication to a friend who has just lost her husband. My condolences to her and her family. Blessings being sent.

I hope Joseph, you don't mind that I used your opening line, it was a perfect fit. But sorry, this is not one to be judged. Thank you.

On a Passing Cloud There Floats a Dream

On a passing cloud, there floats a dream 
A darkened cloud, from the sun-lights beam 
To wet my garden... my planted seeds 
That I just planted, holding rosary beads
 To grow a tree, that blossoms love 
That reaches that cloud, that floats above 
And carries with it... as it drifts free 
Thoughts and prayers, to you, from me
 As it passes you, it's colored white 
To dry your eyes, make your day bright
My tree of love... my flowers gleam 
On that passing cloud, that floats my dream 


(Dedicated to Eve Roper who has just lost her beloved husband) 
My prayers and thoughts to Eve and her family 
May he rest in peace
