Cunning Clouds

Through the eye of a needle

Clouds were wrenched by

Like shredded silk scarves

That twirled in the sky

They slither over the sun

They suck up all the fun

And turn it into rain              

That slides down your drain

They form shapes when you're not looking

Shifting over the earth

They drench the soil and clean the trees

While showering you at birth

Sprouting life and beauty from the ground

Crowding the air without a sound

They are always there, watching from above

Creating misfortune and new found love

They drink up the colours from the setting sun

Now you know how the deed is done

By the cunning clouds that sweep the skies

Disappearing after the last light dies

And the last bird cries

Turning the day into a web of lies 

Milky skies

The wintery sun is soft on our skins

We haven’t felt the summer since

The sky rolled in a sheet of shimmering blue

A star spangled banner made just for you

Constellations like spilled milk stains

As smooth as a puddle from the rains

Dappled with ripples and twinkling magic

The skies can present a cold so tragic

Or a flood so melting

Like my heart

The universe is a work of art

Moon and Stars

My thoughts are stars

And in the wide night sky

You are the moon

In my starry mind

Hope is a candle

Faith is the flame

But trust is alone

For it has no name

We cannot bring the dead

From the last words said

But we can change a life

Like a light changes red

A moment’s hesitance

A flickering last chance

Don’t look back

You can’t risk doing that
