Dark clouds of the Mind !

My friend Sylvia ( who probably has a child a bit younger than me) , is an absolute whiz with her camera, and her almost daily blog post is a panorama of beautiful things she sees either from her new house, or at some place she visits.

I've been inspired to make some headers for her blog , purely out of a sense of fun, and this picture of the black clouds posted in her Sky Watch Friday series, got the grey matter into a tangle. Being a great believer in MS Paint helped.

And a poem resulted.

I show the wonderful original, and the "messed up" resultant header below !

They fly around,
the monsters
of the mind,
dark and agitated,
floating
through the
usual calm and blue...

Only to
dissipate
and timidly
go to pieces,
or trouble
someone else
some other time
in another land,
when
the Big yellow
appears from
behind the pines,
flashing
reassurance,
hope,
and peace
