Into the Shadows of the Clouds – May 22, 2020

Grief, life, love, poetry 1 Minute

It is hard

When the dark finds you

And chooses

Not

To let you go

The shadows

In the clouds

Are closer than you think

Waiting

With their wretched claws

Have you ever seen them

Have they touched

You

Melting in

To who

You

Thought you were

Reaching

Scratching and biting

Until there is nothing left

Do you let them take you

Into the shadows

Of the clouds

  4. I’d like to answer that question you left floating at the end… Yes, I once got caught by the shadows, but it did not last, it seems. Quiet a romantic piece of work. Powerful.

  5. Excellently said. You see, long after the sun’s rays are cut off from the viewer, they will still be shining upon clouds high overhead, and therefore able to cast shadows. 🥴…👻…👅
