Stroking Air
Clouds float in the vaguer shades of grey
Stroking air like silk shawls women wear
Mauve and lilac ,blue and white today
In summer,whispy white clouds wander by
Leaving no long shadows on the doors
Winter clouds sail in vague shades of grey
The sky is most exquisite when light plays
Making patterns on the wooden floors
Mauve and lilac ,blush, pink, burned chambray
Eternal as the sea in Dover Bay
Without that marvelled ocean and its roar
Winter clouds float vaguely in dark grey
The sky conveys no message but a prayer
That humans should retaliate no more
Mauve and lilac ,yellow as sun strayed
Who would act so well as Satan’s whores?
Who so harshly, inhumanely, swore?
The clouds float by in all the shades of grey
Mauve and lilac, sad as words may say
