Whispers in the Clouds

Sentimental.

 

Brother, I feel atop the clouds

Suspended in the skies, whirring

As if I am a younger self

Like a falling maple seed

 

I’m in a pure and mellow place

Where loneliness is beautiful and

The beeps can’t haunt me anymore

And the clock can’t tease me anymore

 

I’m blessed to say I have escaped

The labyrinth of life, breathless

From cursed unanswered questions

A cornucopia of impossibility

 

I feel your tears, they singe my skin

As much as the ills that took me, but

Shine through this aching flood

For heaven only smiles earthward.  

 

My only wish as I depart to

Lost, uncharted lands: forget

All the bitter, poison questions for in

The clouds they rest as dust.

Entire poem whispered in the clouds of my mental beautifully.
A sense of melancholy in this ink!

Wow - your words are so provocative. If only we could KNOW that in whatever comes next, we will indeed "forget all the bitter poison questions..." Great write!
