Clouds Above

Laughing and singing

Surrounded by friends

Cumulonimbus clouds

Gathering

Just above her head

She sees them Harmonize

In the corner of eye

She sees them edge closer

And shivers with dread

Rictus smile in place

No expression on her face

Turning head away

Turning to the present instead

With bated breath she prays

For the clouds to go away

Slowly they leave

Leaving her relieved

She always watches for the clouds

Ambush, they’re sure intent

But catch her, they won’t

Not ever again

She’ll always keep ahead

She’ll never succumb

Never relent

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁
