Grey clouds S.A.D Winter Blues :0(
71
Recently I was suffering from winter depression here in Portland Oregon…other wise known as S.A.D
As soon as the clouds and lack of sunlight show up it pulls me right down creativy exits stage left even :0)
Well “Jami I Pereria” wrote me this very encouraging email ( Below) and in response some time later I wrote this poem..I,m new to poetry but not writing and I,m truly enjoying this new fellowship of the Ring of poetic Hubbers…
My wife and true soulmate Cynthia ;0))))))) “Cyncags” is also a poet and is on here and is a great poet. So now I know what she means!!! never really was into reading let alone writing peotry... This is really helping with my fiction writing….thank you one and all!!!!

Aww , im sorry to hear that you have been sad , but i want to ask you this one question ...and i want an honest answer ..lol ok? here goes...Can you not see how lovely the clouds are today? that God gave the forest a chance to replenish itself with fog and rain / see how happy the plnts and animals are? they are being nourished from the tears of joy God sends their way ? you have to look at the dreary weather as Gods way of nourishing his creations , the world ,plants and animals , so when you think of God watering his garden , rejoice and be happy ,and find beauty in what he has created , The dreary weather is God watering his garden and his creatures big and small !:) see..? Happy thought!! Now , my new friend , write about it and rejoice , for God obviously wanted me to tell you to cheer up , the sun will shine again and brighten up your day!
JAMI`S Home work Mikeq107 :))
Can you see how lovely the clouds are today?
Said the father to his son below
Far below on the rain drenched earth
The son walked around with head hung low
The journey he had taken since birth given sight.
He was born in a land of patch worked green
That was drenched with the dew of heaven
And while that Emerald isle was full of surprises
His eyes could not see god’s beautiful sunrise`s
Like Eorror the donkey with his personal cloud
It was fueled by fear rejection loneliness and sadness
His earthly father’s arms he longed for at night
But drink had its way to steal even the night
His mother peacemaker, her life she not lived
His brother and sisters all clamored for dad
To catch some attention
Broken promises, empty homes new towns
Schools and church steeples full of empty noises
Moreover, left behind peoples.
Jami my bud this one`s for you
For to write a poem for a true poet
Is a hard task indeed
The words from a past long forgotten
Buried by a true fathers son on a cross
My sins and past are for given
Far down below under the cloud
Light pierces his heart and smile
Comes forth as the dawning of day
Grey comes before blue
Therefore, that green can sprout up
The wonders God made
That for a brief time man
Must live in the shade.
Nevertheless, that shade is full of wonder
And love if he will just receive it
Praise god for the cloud that waters the earth
Its fruit is the beauty that graces the scene
That brings new life were dead roots have been
His heart cries out
Why have I been blind?
You engineeered this cloud to set free my mind
The wonders you have made
The fruit of your hand
Once eaten with passion
Overflows from my spirit
To be shared with each other
To fill us with love
And each brand you morning is the cycle of your love
To praise you in the dark the night just before dawn
To run to the sunshine as the new rays are born
To wash in the soft rain that is cool to the touch
To breathe in the freshness
Of your glorious touch
Nature makes love to me a boy from the Isle
Who never realized you were there all the while
Free will you gave
Love I give back
For those clouds in the sky
That someday will carry you back
So from this day forth
Until the end as you, know it
I will embrace your grey clouds
That gives life to your earth
And your timely messenger Jami
Can see my homework is done
As her God found friend mike
Puts his bum on his bike rides into sun
Now that his great work is done))))
