A Cloudy Night Revisited Poem by Danny Speicher

Sitting once more under a cloudy sky
Alone, yet dreaming of you sitting near
Once again alone in my place of rest
Missing you dearly and wanting you here

Silence louder than the claps of thunder
Rolling through the plains, shaking me deeply
Wet green grass reminding me of your eyes
Dreaming a dream within a dream, weeping

Oh, to relive that night over once more
Perhaps I would hold you closer to me
Perhaps my kisses would be far deeper
Perhaps I'd hold you... Never let you free

But, a year later the moon shines no more
The stars twinkle not between lofty clouds
The sky burst forth in tears to match my own
Bringing memories wrapped in night-time shrouds

Our place remains our place, although still mine
Yet all those things my heart once dared to dream
And all those thoughts that those dreams had come true
Remain a dream, less lasting than they seemed
