Clouds

Anne Rutherford

Sweet as the day is,
I look away.
My mind goes forward,
I look back.
Can't see the future
only the past,
The sun is shining,
but I can't see the light.
My mind is in disarray.
The entrenched ideas stop,
black fog is the spirits
blight.
Can't keep it away,the
past comes to haunt,
torment and pursue.
Shadows come with no retreat.
Relinquish the phantom inside
my head,
So I might visualize,outward
instead.
Looking ahead for my solution.
Turn the switch and lift the veil.
I don't want to see clouds on
this sunny day.

Anne Rutherford

I have been writing poems since my first son was born.I had poems all over ,stuffed every where.Oct. 06, I was told I had W.M.D.of the eye ,Since then I decided to make the most of my sight now. Had many treatments, operations. I learned to take the good with the bad.I love writing and reading other peoples poems. All my poems are from my life as it has touched me.I have four sons ,nine grandchildren and wonderful daughters in law. The Lord also blessed us with two great grandkids this last year. Married very young to a great guy. I enjoy all types of music,classical ,the most. I so much enjoy the poems on this site and hope you as a group enjoy reading mine.I have many more poems, some that are framed for sale in stores ect. Someone said on here 'you read mine and I'll read yours.This I will do! My favourite line in life is "Have fun while you do it ,or it's not worth doing" and "Never never give up" Churchill Love to all Anne. more…
