Clouds Out The Window by Larry Estep Clouds out the window Deflect what is seen Walking in darkness Forever we flee Grieving and leaving Losing our mind Hiding in shadows Lurking in silence Hoping for changes Waiting for signs Looking for answers Not caring what's thought Detours and speed bumps The truth is not kind Swerving and veering Hurting and hoping Reaching and searching Trying and failing Redemption Forgiveness Regrets Mistakes All that needs answered All that's not told Never wanting to know Whether truth will unfold Invisible in darkness With light you might see Revealing the answers Sadness gets a reprieve Clouds out the window Between you and me
