So who saw the sky grow dim
Who saw the fix we are in
Clouds sailed off into minds
Watchers asked for words
To say but maybe to hear
Why was flying around our heads
Dread fell under and did spin a web
So what were we looking for this day
What led us to this fray
Did lightning sing a crackly song
I loved and didn’t last so long
A voice called innocence
Yelled into the night
No one got anything right
No one cared that they were lost
Love suffered from a frost
But life called innocence to come
To see the things that set us free
Don’t leave the fray
Don’t stop the fight
Come with me and let’s
Find what is right…

"Why was flying around our heads"

It flies around in my head too, and I can't tell you the answers, but I do know that it's always good to question. Another wonderful pondering poem!

Enjoyed this. I too was struck by the line about "why".

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Excellent write with much to ponder as usual Paul.
I enjoy the way you do that...leave us with something to think about.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.

"Love suffered from a frost"

~ That line really hit an old nerve! Very effective in eliciting an emotion that I had buried. I actually shivered when I read that line!

Warm hugs,
