With My Head In The Clouds

Watch! the clouds will alter

And ever change the sky;

From grey to blue will falter,

As moods are born and die.

Watch the different textures

Billow, drift on by,

Furrowed, ploughed like extra

Fields which fill the sky -

................

While down below life's changeless,

While down below life's still:

Life is just sheer tedium,

Nothing brings a thrill.

................

So with my head in the clouds

I'll allow my mind to wander;

Fantasies alleviate the strain.

So with my heads in the clouds,

I'll find time to drift and ponder

Extravaganzas roaming in my brain;

Engrossed so I don't notice all the rain.

.................

So if I don't hear you,

It's 'cos I'm not all there.

If I don't seem near you

It's 'cos I cannot hear.

Break my concentration,

Jab me in the side;

Break the false sensation

And watch me while I slide -

.................

Down where my life is changeless,

Where my life is still,

Where life's just sheer tedium,

And nothing brings a thrill.

.................

So with my head in the clouds

I'll allow my mind to wander;

Fantasies alleviate the strain.

So with my heads in the clouds,

I'll find time to drift and ponder

Extravaganzas roaming in my brain;

Engrossed so I don't notice all the pain.

You cannot be cirrus. Where did you get that poem? I wondered lonely as a duck ... Certainly not the Bard. Wrong construction, not his words, nor view of life. Though not enough angst to be Leonard Cohen.
Great picture, as I have said before, BOP you have a great affinity with nature's garner.

I used to be really into the works of Shakespeare, but these days I prefer traditional poetry. Mrs BoP reckons I've gone from Bard to verse...
