The Cloud's Voyage

Inscribed in soft words, Gentling the heart, soothing Calming…. Pouring out Hope, silently falling in dewlike Quiet, still as the memory, Each passing cloud… is healing Full – filling me with serenity, Feelings flowing freely, Preparing me for a future bursting At the seams… With intimacy, intentional Kindness, grace and mercy kissing Away every doubt, all fear Never leaving the thought of A faded tear Inscribed on the soul, Flowing, feathery feelings Each passing cloud… Graceful like the whisper, sighing Breathing in notes of joy, Soundless inspirations, coloring Thoughts in light, Stirring yearnings, hope Hues of compassion, willowy Limbs, listening to the kindness Shimmering in the night, Like stardust flames, Beautifying the darkness With a lingering, lasting lust For the moments when happiness Invades the spirit, Wonderful, warm, wildly Sincere, like the secret devotion Inscribed on the memories, Each passing cloud… Carries a dream, fanciful fantasy Aspiring to complete the Journey through this peace, Where darkness shines With the stardust songs, And doubts remind us of the Hope spun from silken threads Of joys, laughter, mysteries… Feelings bleeding through each Thought, each heart… Each passing cloud… Silencing the thunder, Erasing the storm with a promise During the rain’s caress, there Is the beautiful beyond the distress In each passing cloud… There is the best, beautiful, breathtaking Brightening the soul with dreams Who will forever abide in the serenity Peace that comes from knowing The beauty inside the easy cloud’s voyage Each passing cloud Poetry Contest Sponsored by: JCB Brul Written on March 4, 2023
