I walked naked into a cloud <br />That floated playfully upon the hill. <br />I was alone, there was not a crowd, <br />Upon the place of emptiness unfulfilled. <br />In silence I placed my wandering feet <br />Firmly upon the ground of defeat. <br /> <br />The waves of voices were far away, <br />For I could not hear them in this place. <br />I was content to be isolated in this way, <br />Perfectly alone without one angry face. <br />In solitude I opened my thoughts <br />To memories of pain that was brought. <br /> <br />I see now with mind so absolutely clear <br />The pattern of twilight that played so free; <br />The lost passion for life once held so dear. <br />I shivered with open eyes in winter breeze, <br />On this hill where the cloud surrounded me. <br />For this place was now where I would be. <br /> <br />I let the air perfectly entrap my mind, <br />My naked heart open in the pain it caught. <br />I will flee the hurt that has been defined, <br />And rush uncertainly into prisms of thought. <br />I walked naked into a cloud <br />Where whatever I wanted was allowed.<br /><br />Chris G.
