Dark Clouds

 

A sky you would expect to see

 

Drifting with clouds that looked as

 

Though if you touched them you’d

 

Fade into and away with them.

 

 

 

A sky filled with angels and painful

 

Serenity

 

 

 

A sky like the beautiful stained glass

 

Window that I sit near in church, and

 

Wonder where my life is taking me

 

Because I don’t want to go

 

 

 

I wish it would slow down and wait

 

For me, but my wishes never come true.

 

I just hope someone cares enough about

 

Me to save me from the clouds

 

 

 

Then as though that one thought traveled

 

From my mind to his he stepped up behind

 

Me forming a shadow in the shining

 

Waters of my heart, forming a dark window

 

In it’s reflection as if to say I’ll save

 

You from the drifting clouds

 

 

 

But do I want him to save me? Because

 

Sitting here with just his shadow covering

 

Me, comforts me enough, I don’t want it all…

 

Just the shadow

 

 

 

I closed my eyes and

 

Listened to my Spanish angel sing

 

I’ll never let him drift away with the clouds

 

 

 

Is it real? Or is this another one of the

 

Many figments of my imagination,

 

Because now, as my angel plucks the

 

Many secrets from my heart

 

Like the strings of a guitar

 

 

 

I look up over the hills past the sun and

 

I see a dark cloud. That must be the

 

One that’s come to take me away

 

But when it reaches me, it doesn’t reach for me

 

It reaches for my Spanish angel and takes him away

 

Despair is what I feel

 

But the reassuring whispers

 

Of my Spanish angel, calms me

 

 

 

So I pick up my heart, put the despair

 

In the pocket and wake up from my dreams.
