Onward Down

I've been up
I've been down
but mostly Dreamlike sleepiness
clouds of black
clouds of blue
I saw the tree dead and leafless
I could Smile
I could Laugh
Not now but for thousand Years

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
