You are like the clouds that clothe my sky Sometimes white as snow At times, a menacing grey that threaten to release its fury... I am frightened of you Yet I feel sad when I do not see you.
As I raise my face to the heavens I watch that white purity start to darken. One by one, Heavy drops of rain starts falling Pounding on me Blinding me Driving me to my knees.
My mind willed for my old friend to come And give me warmth To be shown again that little whirlpool To behold once again the beauty that only you can make me see: Indeed, there is a still pool in the middle of the rushing whirlpool!

I can sense a sadness in the lines, and as I go deeper, there is a yearning of freedom from pain. Powerful words.
Best wishes,
Tanya

Beautiful flow of imagery. I can almost feel the heavy drops of rain, and the yearning for tranquility. Well done, Sheri.
Imagery and metaphors galore and enjoyed. The depth of your soul shines through. Complex and conflicting emotions. Liz

You have captivated my thoughts with this one, Sheri. There is always light and hope at the end of every suffering. As always, this one is written with so much meanings.

There is more than the rain and pool within your poem...there is the yearn for the One who comforts and warms the very heart...the friend of old who cares and shows beauty even when the rain pours from darkened skies...
It's a beautiful poem. Please keep writing more of what you feel deep in your heart. Let out that latent talent that has been hidden for long. GodBless!
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
I have written a chapter called I Am That, I Am in this inspirational compilation book by best-selling authors and wonderful people from all walks of life xox :-D (Its sister book is called Adventures In Manifesting - Success and Spirituality)
Note: Since my husband's cancer surgery 4/25/05, this book content has been integrated into the public speaking content for audiences interested in a sassy approach to personal and/or community awareness events. Another chapbook on intimate love poet
