Darkness was falling <br />over my eyes <br />as the Sun became covered <br />with ominesce clouded skies. <br /> <br />Shadows replaced by <br />grey-mattered shades <br />cement-colored nightmares <br />were the horror of my days. <br /> <br />Then you came along <br />and planted hope in me <br />plowed into my being <br />and left sweet, savory seeds. <br /> <br />I can smell the lilac, <br />and taste the wind <br />now I’m chasing blue skies again. <br /> <br />Now my wasted days <br />are shriveled in the Sun <br />I’m no longer lonely, <br />buds ripening for fruit to come. <br /> <br />Hopeful promises of coming days <br />blooming from the buds <br />whispering through the trees <br />I can feel it in my blood. <br /> <br />You came along <br />planted your hope in me, <br />bore into my soul, <br />and left sumptuous seeds. <br /> <br />Now I can smell the lilac <br />and taste the wind, <br />Now I’m chasing blue skies again.<br /><br />stan pelfrey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/110-chasing-blue-skies-again/
