Dark Clouds

The ocean sounds still sooth my mind

I’ve walked this shore for years

Whenever I felt  overwhelmed

this helped to calm my fears

Dark clouds portend sad days ahead

they greet me one by one

A winter storm is on the way

and lightening has begun

So little time I now have left

before they lay me down

So many thoughts go through mind

these moments most profound

This life we live so very short

a flash before the  eye

I once was young and unaware

how fast it’d all go by

I never thought it’d seem so clear

what life was all about

 A time to live…. a time to die

Reality now shouts

I will not pass this way again

my change will soon be here

I’ll travel to another place

and leave behind all fear
