Clouds

Oh silver clouds high in the sky, passing on your way

You do not linger very long, you have no wish to stay

Stretched far into the horizon over land and sea

Some white and light that dance along, some heavy black and mean

But now and then the sun breaks through with piercing shafts of light

And for anyone to notice it’s a truly awesome sight

So bye dear clouds be on your way until you reach your end

For over the horizon some more clouds do descend

    Progress?

    Though every day is just a star in the galaxy of life

    Why do so many days contain so much stress and strife?

    A life that changes day by day so much from years gone by

    Where nothing stays the same for long I often wonder why

    It’s all in the name of progress a bright new world for all

    It’s what’s been said for a long long time and it’s no such thing at all

    It just means more upheaval more shifting things around

    And at the end it looks the same but makes a different sound

    No time to stop and wonder no time to stop at all

    There’s this and that and other things all waiting for your call

    And if at times it’s all too much and life has much despair

    Don’t expect any sympathy for nobody will care

    We all go rushing forward searching for our Holy Grail

    And none of us will admit when life begins to pale

    To step back every now and then and have our time and space

    To treat life with the respect it needs instead of one long race

    Maybe someday we will have the time to slow down and to breathe

    To reflect and wonder what at all we really have achieved

    Have we made a big stride forward or are things just the same?

    All going round in circles and starting once again

    Sunshine

    The sun is shining brightly colouring the sky

    With golden beams of sunlight dazzling the eyes

    A crisp and chilly morning is changing by the hour

    As yellow shafts of sunlight engulf us with their power

    A big bright ball of fire hanging up above

    Makes the world seem a better place spreading out its warmth

    People seem much better in everyday walks of life

    With little balls of sunshine lightening the strife

    Lovers walking hand in hand laughing along the way

    Sunshine in their faces, for them a lovely day

    A lonely cloud drifts on by, blocking out the light

    But as it slowly floats along soon again it’s bright

    When everything clouds over with many faces glum,

    Only then do we realise we really miss the sun

    So as it sinks to yonder shores and another day does end,

    We hope that when tomorrow comes the sunshine never ends.
