Clouds collect, then go astray

They have no time to stop and play

I close my eyes and wonder why

Breathing out, an endless sigh

Of darkness, overtaking thought

Leaving me somber, silently fraught

As nighttime, void of color, stays

I lose myself, when dreams fade away

This is my contribution to Neha’s, of Forgotten Meadows, poetic collaboration “When Dreams Fade Away”
