Silver Linings

In every silver lining I find Dark clouds hiding inside. In the mist I stumble blind In sheets of rain I try to hide. I climb over rocks that bear your name Finding my way over boulders of time. Memories of you a searing, burning flame I Alice through the looking glass sublime. In fuzzy delusions I find the peace You and I, chimes in the moving air. Carpe Diem, the day we will seize If sanity is lost, I really do not care. For the flames are burning high Burning is the longing within. I look at silver linings with a sigh Knowing dark clouds will always win.

I've returned to read this again. In addition to my earlier comments, I'm impressed with the poetic inversion...dark clouds hiding inside a silver lining! Some dark humor here, I think! Love and best wishes, Robert.
