Clouds of Life

The clouds of life roll by
Without a care in the world
They don't wait
Sometimes the most pleasant times
Are the ones that pass by so quickly
While I sit back and watch in awe as these times fly by
I need to be jumping aboard before they pass me by
I get on for a while sometimes but lose my balance
Not noticing what is right ahead.
Dark clouds I have passed
Sometimes come back quicker
Than the bright ones on which I float
Sometimes I have to work to stay on the bright clouds
Sometimes the enemy seems such a simpler cloud to ride
The broad area that it takes up,
No holes, just a thick, dark, morbid cloud
Devouring the skies
These dark clouds move at so quick a pace
Destroying everything and everyone in their path
They take you down ten times faster
Than the uplifting clouds raise you up
Happiness takes time,
Depression takes you down quickly along with others around you
It wears you out and then spits you out on the earth
As one of many insignificant rain drops.
The angels tears are in these rain drops
For a life lost to the world and that of the world
Rain drops sink into the ground
And get sucked into the earth.
But, just as everything seems lost,
The sunlight, an old friend,
One that always smiled and shined on you
As you floated and drifted by on cloud 9,
lifts you up, pulls you back in, and sets you back on cloud nine only to endure the process again.
Thank you to all my "sun's" for lifting me from the darkness and foolishness of this world
Thanks for ripping me from the grasp of this earth that I was so deeply sucked into. Thank you for reminding me of the bright clouds and lifting me to them
