Beyond the Clouds

Lisa R. Strong
There is nowhere left to go;
When dreams have all run dry;
My wheels are clogged with mud;
Spinning in one place;
My heart has seen too much;
I look up to the sky;
And I fly beyond the clouds;
Wondering if there is more;
Than my tired eyes can see;
I feel the tender kiss;
Of a gentle breeze;
Brush against my cheek;
Although my feet are planted;
My imagination soars;
Above the misery;
Beyond the disappointments;
Escaping painful memories;
And the hopelessness I feel;
When all the fight has left me;
And I have nothing left to give;
High above the blue;
Brighter than the sun;
There is a place of hope;
There is a place of peace;
When there is nowhere else to go;
Where there is no looking back;
This is where I want to be.

    This is very beautiful. And recent events have given you new wings that can lend you weightlessness to soar above the troubles and mud toward those blissful heights. So soar, honey. Enjoy the climb and then the ride.
