Clouds
Sweet as the day is,
I look away.
My mind goes forward,
I look back.
Can't see the future
only the past,
The sun is shining,
but I can't see the light.
My mind is in disarray.
The entrenched ideas stop,
black fog is the spirits
blight.
Can't keep it away,the
past comes to haunt,
torment and pursue.
Shadows come with no retreat.
Relinquish the phantom inside
my head,
So I might visualize,outward
instead.
Looking ahead for my solution.
Turn the switch and lift the veil.
I don't want to see clouds on
this sunny day.
