Where Shaped Clouds Dart
To run far far away if I dare
When I run, why try to disappear
Out of this house with never a care
Lie on the grass, look upward to sky clear
I don't care if shaped clouds dart around
While I lie at peace on grassy dirt
As I am carefree lying on ground
Observing life far far away no hurt
To run far far away_settle there
The ocean alluringly calls
Come, come my love settle near here
Let the waves lap my toes one and all
Come is the call of attachments dear
Family alluringly invites
Don't run away come stay close by here
Torn emotion, spirit torture spikes
Carnality leads, draws one wrong way
Goodly spirit settles: peace in this place
Allure of ocean, places of far away
Can't fill the void in this case
(Written after reading Edna St. Vincent Millay)
