The Cloud
I look at the December winter sky.
A cloud climbs down from up high.
It blocks the Sun, darkens the day.
I hope this cloud soon goes away.
Why stop here, uninvited you are.
Please roll away into the distance far.
I know of course that it will move on.
Maybe go back to were it came from.
All clouds fade in time, this one will.
God didn't design them to stand still.
He eases clouds away, blow by blow.
It's like how he deals with pain and woe.
(Thank you very much for the recent messages of support following my recent poems, that means a lot to me during these difficult times x)

Mike,
Poems of clouds and trees are very special to me as they speak of a living world which often may seem dead. As you say in the final stanza God didn't design them to stand still nor us also. A world which comes and goes, of changing seasons and moods.
Thank you for this
Keith
