hovering

a poem about hovering clouds

after a while,

you get used to

the dark clouds that

hover above your head.

after a while,

you start to name 

the dark clouds that

hover above your head.

after a while,

you learn to enjoy

the days where 

the dark clouds that

hover above your head

clear, even if just for a moment.

after a while,

you begin to realise that

the dark clouds that

hover above you head

don't disperse as much

as they used to. 

after a while,

you master the ways

you deal with 

the dark clouds that

hover above your head.

after a while,

you don't see 

the dark clouds that

hover above your head —

at least, not as much as 

you used to.
