Cloudy Skies

Began on Wednesday, 16 Feburary, 2005.

He was counting clouds in the sky
Oh, he didn’t know but why
Eyes shift, searching for a silver lining
The light danced off the windowpane

Twenty odd years beyond his reach
The azure moon hides its face
Nose pressed against the pane: like a child
Fingers trace edges of a cloud

He watches the darkening window
As the stars creep out the door
Between polished wood and carpeted floor
The glitter’s lost again

He still doesn’t know why
Oh, but now he’s learnt to cry
Eyes shift, searching for a silver lining
The muted glow is silent in the rain
(c) Sylphide
