Shadows Above the Earth

April Higney
Shadows upon the earth,

as clouds flow, tumbling, rolling through an ominous sky,

over the constantly moving ocean of lovers' dreams,

rainfalls that fill waterfalls, misty tears, the winds sigh.

Shadows dance upon the earth,

as clouds enchant the mountains, intrigue the trees, in a foggy embrace,

over the constantly moving rivers of mystical souls' desire,

as sunlight pours through in rays in warmth between the evergreens tear dampened face.

Shadows upon the earth,

as clouds flow, tumbling, rolling, through an ominous sky,

over the drifts of sandy dunes, a desert of parched crumbling hearts,

rainfalls that the earth drinks eagerly, from the winds another sigh.

Shadows dance upon the earth,

as clouds encircle smiling lovers' sunlit glow,

soft essence of fragrant flowers, kissed in the mist,

above and below the love-making rainbow.
