Follow The Clouds (A Reflective Poem)

I am a lone man bent on a mission
The one thing I do lack is a vision

They tell me this life is made up of more
But always, they have money at the fore

Distraught, I roam the free skies as a dove
Never landing till I find peace and love

I’ve got a light that shines my path so bright
Until the despair comes and there’s no light

They say follow the stars and you’ll be proud
Nah! I’ll stay on earth and follow the cloud

I’ll cry with the rain and smile with the sun
And sing with the thunder when it’s its turn

Whether rich or poor, we end in the shelf
The same dust will cover me and yourself

This is my entry for the 'Love The Clouds' Contest! #4 by @tobetada. As usual, I try to imitate @clayboyn's style. I think I was able to get a uniform number of syllables in each line this time.

I would love if this were a song or even better a proper rap, the best I have read today and I have some great things today. Reminds me of a word that never gets used anymore but has a special place in my heart - "Stoically" as for this being worthy lyrics @jamesgetsit

Stoically

Wow!

Now that's a great compliment

I'm not much of a rapper. I just had too much of poetry from clayboyn. So much that I decided to start entering poetry contests and see if I can write as good as he does

I had help from four songs from passenger (to help put me in the mood)

Whispers, Patient Love, Home and Feather on The Clyde

Know any of them?

Not sure, which album? nvm, I will quickly add all of them , maybe I will also be inspired. 😀

Different albums

Whispers I (different from whispers II)
All the little lights
Young as the morning, old as the sea

You'll find the songs in those albums

Lemme know what you think of them

I fell in love with the clouds ever since I first flew on a plane when I was 3 years old. Even now, I wish I could touch one some day. I love how the light tone of your words carry so much meaning in them. Definitely my favorite poem of the day.

Definitely my favorite poem of the day.

Wow

Thanks a lot

This was a great poem. I do not usually like rhyming pieces as there are lines that may not rhyme exactly or are deconstructed to fit the scheme, but I find that you have done this well :)

Thanks for your kind words

Blessings
