Covered by a shadow

covered by a shadow

There are times when I feel as if i walk in a cloud,

not the kind you would see on a bright sunny day,

but a sad rain cloud,

It pulls me to my knees and lets me know this is not my happy dream.

Walking  off the plane at Seatac was a huge blow to my heart,

the sky so dark and unkind.

I felt like i was being crushed with the weight of ten planets,

No shining sun to welcome me,

nor was there blue in the sky,

darkness like a shroud covered me,

my spirit begain to cry,

the heart inside my chest did say,

 walk on for there will come a new day,

and yet my hope to see lovely skies has been washed away ,

in this cloudy cry.

Would I were six i would a tantrum throw,

and tell that cloud just where to go,

thou i am no six nor can i be again,

some deeply caught part of me still tangle within calls out to sunshie,

"come be my friend."

The colors of joy not to be found,

here in this coldness left to drown.

And if only a dream or a sad little tale,

I long to see the tropical colors swell all around me just once more,

and forever shut and lock this little clouds door.
