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.
