In my life of age I have seen many clouds.
Some have floated into my life bringing rain,
Some have carried darkness,
Some have been storm clouds.
But I have survived each cloud,
So that now when clouds float,
Float into my life,
All they do is add colour,
Add colour to my sunset sky.

A lovely write and pic Gold. Our sunset (you and I) must have been going for thousands of years, seeing as we're millions of years old!
The sunset quick for Harold in 1066, cos I mucked it up. Am I in history books? Arggh, why is my deed record for eternal shame, as Judas' was in the Bible, sadly?
Thank you Orchi.
You were in the Epilogue of the Canterbury Tales but I asked Chaucer to delete it as I didn't want to upset you.
yes sir, this poem made me feel better then I was before I read it. and in your reply to orchidee are the words Canterbury tales. i'm an American whose mother was born and raised in the uk, and those words brought back stories I read as a youngster.
I am so glad that I helped your day. Those words read as a youngster can be wonderful.
indeed!
The gentle rain that washes clean. Lovely work plus another of my top three favourite composers. Cheers Andy
Thank you Michael. Beethoven is in my top four as well.
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain"
Every trouble in life serves some meaning. However great, however small. May your clouds continue to bless you sir. Well done.
Thank you Nicholas, I am sure that they will.
Very nice, we must always remember they pass.
Very true, thank you.
Clouds bring so many messages don't they.............
They certainly do.
Thanks ANDY for a triple WHAMMY ! Perfect Picture ~ Perfect Symphony ~ Perfect Poem ! At 35 ~ Every Silver Lining has a Cloud ~ they come & go but stay in EQUILIBRIUM ! As I pass the half-way mark (We are only promised three score & ten (3 x 20) + 10 = 70 !) I am encouraged by the voice of my Elder ~ "So that now when Clouds float into my Life ~ all they do is to add Colour ~ to my Sunset Sky !" I trust I can say that in 35 years time (2053) if our Planet is still habitable ! Thanks for brightening a damp Thursday morning in Essex !
My pleasure Brian, it is a damp day in the Midlands as well.
what an inspiring poem
Thank you blast219, much appreciated.
I can always see sunshine in your writing. I need to learn the way you see the world.
The light is always there and has been after being given a second chance at life
