Helen I love your revised Clouds Jill

[jill stockinger]

Helen- This is GORGEOUS. Jill

Clouds

 

Storm clouds behind my eyes are winter-cold gray,

ready to let down all reserves and stream 

in unending torrents. What holds them back?

 

Self-preservation. I must maintain

control, hold everything together

or risk losing all semblance of self.

 

I long to let go and float in the warmth of tears

held back for so many years but I fear I may drown

in the welcoming depths and never resurface.
