a dark cloud
floating
about my head
wanting
to envelop
my spirit
with a gloom
so thick
and weighty ~
my soul
would go limp
feel of no use
where purpose
has no reason
as if ~
ludicrous
and beyond
any hope
from the light
of imagination
and yet ~
this bleakness
has no
lasting
affect
upon
the fire ~
the passion
sustaining
my heart ~
fueling it
to burn
from hope
stoked with
the light
of imagination
not willing
to give way
make room for
a dark cloud
freely floating
about
my head
“The hope given from the light of imagination keeps that dark cloud with its gloom from freely floating about my head.”
