Clouds fall away

Clouds Fall Away

I thought I saw clouds forming,
From deep within your eyes,
I thought I saw pain and suffering,
That you couldn't quite disguise.

I thought I saw a ray of light,
That streaked across the blue,
I thought I saw a bit of hope,
That came blazing eagerly through,

I thought I saw a glimmer of peace,
Where before there'd only been pain,
I thought I saw a sweet release,
Instead of memories as dark as a stain,

I'll hold your hand, and wipe the tears,
And keep you in my heart.
I promise you it's safe in there,
And every day is a fresh new start.

Skyscape

Skyscape

The skyscape today is purely a haze,
Which matches my mood, kind of a daze,
I decide right then it's one of those days,
When I want to curl up and read a book.

Because that sky outside is a pewter grey,
And I love that lovely mysterious way,
That the clouds reach up and seem to say,
"We're all in this together."

Not a hint of blue, but an overshadowing fog,
Which for once - happily - isn't just smog,
And outside my window is my neightbor's dog,
who I swear can smile.

Sweet, sweet sky with your sheltered sun,
The streaking sky, like smoke from a gun,
Your glorious beauty never fails to stun,
And everything seems to be okay.
