When I'M Down

Remembering the sky
                                    yesterday,
                              the blueness in color,
                                 warm winds bringing back
                               times of summers 
                                        years ago.
                             Clouds lofting above,
                                 as if passing through
                               another time.

                               When I'm down,
                                  I'd like to hitch a ride
                                      on a cloud.
                              Taking me up and away,
                                floating above my
                                   troubles,
                              putting me away from my
                                enemies
