The Talking Clouds
The clouds in the sky like layers
of snow on a mountain top.
These ripples of white creating
To the eyes such a beautiful delight.
Then the dark clouds followed like
A storm in brew.
My heart was feeling the same
Not knowing what to do.
Is this the storm after the calm?
Will it do me any harm?
There is truth in what they say
That you must live life day by day.
So I’ll accept the dark clouds that come my way
Because I know they will not stay.
There is a silver lining that some times
I do not see.
Because it’s hidden well away from me.
The clouds do talk and tell us so much
We just have to look and listen
And feel the softness of its touch.
A little breeze and the clouds start to darken
We then know that the rain is on its way
And in the open we can not stay.
And when we see the clouds oh so white
We know that the sun will be hot and bright.
And when there are no clouds left to see
That’s when the darkness has fallen on me.
I hope the darkness doesn’t cover my heart
For if it does then we must part.
My heart has been lonely enough
It now needs a gentle touch.
So my clouds please speak to me
Tell me exactly what you see
Do you see my heart like the
Snowy white mountain top
Or like the dark clouds from
A brewing storm.
Tell me where does it belong.
