Let the Clouds Watch Them Fly

Let the clouds up in heaven watch the wings of time

While our hearts pull down our shades

Listen as they claim them as their very own

Forgotten like flowers in the wind

Our petals will not fade

Time will stand still and there will be no change

Our hearts will stand in youth

Walking softly within a tender strength

Bright lanterns that will silence

Time's wings of truth

Our eyes will sweetly smile at silver threads of life

Knowing they will never ever age

Rewriting our own history on either side

Without those heavy wings of time

Brushing on the page

The wings of time demand; tirelessly they seek

A taste of life upon their tongue

Let the clouds up in heaven watch them fly

Our hearts pulled down the shades

Once again, we are young

[Abdul Aziz]

At times, Neva, your usage of wonderfully universal emotions and amazingly descriptive images combine to create poems of immense beauty. When you get everything inch perfect, as you have done in this poem, one does not even begin to want to criticize it. Brilliant!

[White Ink]

W.O.W!

[Kelsie Eileen Stark]

such a nice poem Neva...from the expressions of clouds and time to the very idea of youth and how it keeps us seeking to feel its emotion...

[BriAnna Wyble]

you have such a beautiful way with words. i admire your talent

[Letemdangle]

I wasn't sure at first what you were going for here. I read it three times, knowing there is something I recognize, but I didn't know what it was. I concluded, as we grow old, our souls are timeless, if we are in touch with them.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Just plain beautiful and wise.
You write poems that hypnotize.
Soft, easy and gentle.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem is perfect in describing the magic of a special touch.

[Ladysue]

this read like a beautiful song...love the second verse...this is gorgeous writing as always...your words read like magic...they move with splendor...

[Forest Green]

Youth recaptured in thoughts that are unchained by time.

Your poem develops a very believable rhapsody and remains there throughout.

Nice work...
