Clouds always creep up from the rear
like the natural progression of indifference
intent on a search and destroy
of the sky’s so heavenly blue.

It’s a silent but deadly approach
like the reality of a ghost
unseen but felt and known to be
an ineffective and useless guard
at the heart’s unmarked border post.

So crosses indifference speedy and swift
into the haven of love’s settled state
a warrior, gunman, thief, murderer,
in rampant and raging disregard
for what is intended to be.

And the sky that once vibrant and blue
succumbs to a dim and dull overlay
like the eyes of love once fearlessly clear
now brushed with the strokes
of complete indifference.

Flutter, flutter, and I flutter eyelids
simply today to no avail.

Hi, LeeJ - We're into autumn and the days are beautifully sunny so it's hard to be "indifferent". However, indifference begets indifference no matter the season except when it comes to the children for they are the reason the sun, if not love, shines down on me.

Love is in your heart... always.
