Poem..

One of the people whose blogs I ran across recently was T's. His wife died a while ago, and he writes a lot about her. He's very talented and can write poems very quickly; I like to say he can write poems "on demand"..as you all will see.

If you scroll down this blog you will see that I posted a picture of the clouds from the airplane on my way home from MN..T saw the picture and wrote me an e-mail saying he was going to write a poem..and little did I know he wrote a poem and sent it. Most of his poetry is about his love..his wife.

So..before I forget. This is copyrighted to T; November 2005

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

I am so trying to stay ahead

But I feel I’m walking in the fog

I can’t seem to get my story straight

Guess I will just have to wait

For a simple epilogue



And I arise

And I’ve devised

A way to stand out from the crowd

It was so simple for crying out loud

Now I’ve got both feet above the clouds



They can say what they want to hurt me

Not going to let it bother anymore

I’m going to move and move fast ahead

Only stop me when I’m dead

Or when I find you instead



And I arise

And I’ve devised

A way to stand out from the crowd

It was so simple for crying out loud

Now I’ve got both feet above the clouds



So now I’m standing with both feet

And I’m high, and high above the clouds

Oh how I wish that you could see me

I know I would have made you proud

With both feet firm above the clouds
