NaPoWriMo: #11 Thoughts about cloudiness...


Cloudy Days
A dome is over my home
Hovering just above the tree line
I sometimes feel trapped
Not wanting to be under it
As it shatters down as spiky shards
Cloud-shards stabbing me
The pain is unbearable
I want to see open sky
And know warmth
Other days, the soft white-gray
While I see nothing,
I do feel cozy, snug
Huddling deeper into my blankets
Imagining far away green hills
A home in spring
With the wet coming down outside
That washes everything
From time and grief
My childhood home
Filled with music
The voice floating from the kitchen
My mother’s clear soprano
And the distinct smell of cinnamon
Inviting me to taste and see
All that is good
