I Left My Cares Upon The Clouds

I left my cares upon the clouds
That drifted slowly up on high,
And watched unburdened from the ground
As each one floated gently by.

The breeze shall carry them afar,
Across the bluebell covered lea,
Beyond the winking Evenstar
And on towards the rolling sea.

My heart's world weariness has waned
And leaps instead to find release,
A soul that once was vexed and pained
Can now perhaps revisit peace.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! The title is the kind of line that makes every other writer wish they'd crafted that bit of gracefulness! I love watching the sky & clouds, but never seem to find such amazing words to describe it as you have here. I love the way your message gives us a visual hint of how it is where you live. And being a rhyme-aholic myself, I'm admiring your perfectly-crafted rhymes that never feel like a reach (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

You're very kind, Margie, thank you so much for the lovely review! :) I'm so happy that you like it. I must confess to being a huge rhyme-aholic...it's very rare that I write prose poetry.

Some free-form poet-friends ask me to collaborate, but it feels like they're speaking another language that I must force myself to engage in! *smile* Hard to kick that rhyming addiction!

I think we should both join the R.A.A...Rhyming Alcoholics Anonymous! :D Hello, my name is Adam and I've been rhyme free for six months...chuckle.
