"You See" (by Joe DiMino)
You seethis little cloud
Kept following me about;
Not so bad as clouds go
Pink around the edges
With a tinge of gold;
The shadow I was under
Not quite so cold,
As far darker shadows told
Not at all a rain,
Definitely not a storm
Still I tied to run from beneath it
But it was swift,
With greater breath than I
Though up there the air lean
The sun seeming supportive
Behind it;
And at the days end
The moon likewise
Kept it in light
I cursed it
For the longest time;
Declaring I would not melt
If only it would stray;
Swearing I would not welt
left out in a sunny day
But it was persistent,
As I was resistant
I shouted obscenities
A dictionary full
Ordered off my case
And out to space
But nothing worked
Till in flight
A passing dove whispered:
This cloud
Only responds to love
.
