Sitting on my cloud,
Not a care in my mind,
God appears.
“Can I sit next to you?” he said,
“If you want” I replied,
“The clouds are free”
“You look happy” he said,
“Are you OK?”
“Yes I am fine” I replied
“But surely you know that!”
“Well yes I did
I was just making conversation”
“Making conversation! Why?”
“It seemed the thing to do”,
“Here I am sitting here quite happily”
I said “Relaxed and thought free,
Then you turn up, enquiring about me”
“Yes” he said, “I thought you were lonely”
“Alone, yes” I said, “But not lonely”.
“What do you mean, not lonely?” he asked
“You are alone!”
“I need to be alone sometimes” I replied,
“To come to terms with my life”.
“But I am always here for you”,
“Yes you are, but sometimes
You get in the way,
Or you do not answer my questions”.
“ I always answer your questions” He said,
“If you always answer my questions” I replied
“Why do I not here the answers?”
“Because sometimes the answer is ‘No’,
And that is an answer you never want to hear”.
With that he got up and left,
Leaving me alone on my cloud.
My once care free mind
Now filled with questions.

If only it was this easy to go up and speak to a greater being. 🌹
If only once again Teddy, one of the most prolific statements in life. Thank you.

Good write Gold. My prayer to be released from KP is never answered. The reply sounded like: 'Well, you have a fish pond, and you like trouts; dunno why you want to be rid of her'. heehee.
Thanks Orchi.
Loved this poem, thought at first that it was going in a different direction but that would have been heretical. A not only fun read but with meaning to ponder. Very nice Andy

You are very welcome
That woz an unwanted intrusion when you were sitting on your cloud, not a care in your mind, Andy. Better you give up on the fella and tell him to POQ, Then you can return to your usual undisturbed view of the world.
Fun write, I enjoyed very much.
Thank you Dave, I have returned to my undisturbed view of the world now.
