Two New Poems (first drafts)

So much of my time is spent, within the four walls of my home, observing seasonal changes in the garden and the more regular changes of skyscape. The following two poems (or at least jottings towards a poem) were provided by a rather bland sky a few minutes ago. Of course it's quite obvious how the second jotting emerged from the first.

Displaying Not Disclosing

low cloud diffuses light

yet draws my sight


beyond it's own opacity

this grey tinged sky


defies all understanding


sun bathed it strives

to shield my eyes


from the radiance

that lies beyond its curtain

A Glass So Deeply Stained

sun bleached

low veiling cloud


denies all access

to the light beyond


my faith

is shrouded


when I fail

to share its light -


I pray

others may find


a breach in my opacity
