My Clouds
Awoke one saturday morning
A stormy day coming for me
Storm clouds gathering darkly gray
Opened the door a crack to see
Out of my grasp open it swung
Gaping, wind and clouds gushing in
They swooped me up afraid to fall
With raspy voice clouds spoke to me
Hold tight, one saying , don't you fall
There was nothing else I could do
Up we went to nowhere special
Clouds stayed with me they didn't leave
- - - later now - - -
Dimly through the mist I can see
Still holding tight I'll not let loose
Clouds are all I have it's been years
Feeling safe with them, here I stay

My sister-in-law was airlifted via helicopter Sunday morning to the Shreveport LSU Hospital.
They gave her wonderful care, ER, ICR, and Friday discharged to her hometown hospital for inpatient therapy.
She will have speech, physical, and occupational therapy. She has heavy needs in all those areas.
We, the rest of family, and many, many others are praying for her, her recovery, and loving family.

One can feel the sudden gush with your perfect word use, Dr Jim!

...and the moral of the story … don't open the door on a stormy morning! Good write, Jim!
Yes a stormy and dark tale of clouds and life. I love your wonderful and dark take on the photo Jim! A thrilling read for sure!
I can see those dark grey storm clouds.....we have our share of them on the coast. Nice to read you, Jim.
Like your perspective on clouds ... Happy Sunday!
See what happens when curiosity removes caution? Adventures in the clouds! I felt that by the end any storm danger had passed.
What an amazing story! The rush and the resolution was evocative of the storm.
Keeping company with clouds suits you, Jim.
Well, this is what happens when one opens the door during an intense storm.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your SIL.
Let us know how your sister-n-law is doing. 💙
"Clouds are all I have it's been years / Feeling safe with them, here I stay " -- really like that. We stick with what we know, even if nothing really there other than the comfort of sameness.
I am so sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. Hope she is able to recover.
