Silver Linings

-

They say all every cloud has a silver lining.

That's certainly something to laugh about.

 I remember times of my youth when I would lay

Staring, aimlessly at the sky.

Brooding at the depth of it

How deep the sky is.

The clouds were the most interesting,

What with there fluffy textures

Their tops eschew in many a direction

Their bottoms black

And I searched for the silver within it.

I didn't see it.

And these days when I have less time to wonder

Less time to lie under the sun, pondering.

What with cruelties of life at every corner

When I find the time I search

I search the same sky I searched as a child

And I find nothing.

I find no dazzling silver lining the clouds.

Only fluff, and darkness

The same as I found years before

When the world was innocent.

When I was innocent.

For now I am not.

But so much else has changed, including myself.

The sky hasn't changed although, with its fluff floating silently

The ground in which I lie, hasn't either.

But I have, as many things I once knew, in many more ways than one

And so I hope still to find hope in the clouds of fluff.

But none is to be found.

So I restate this phrase,

Not from a pessimists view

But from a truthful persons

For I have searched for many years

Without any avail

Every cloud does not have a silver lining.

It has a much darker side

For a cloud is much like a human

Its so easy to see

One side light,

The other dark,

And no way to tell when the lightning will strike.

A/N: Jeez…I haven't written any attempts at poetry for sooooo long! I know I probably messed up in a lot of places…but I cant seem to find a trusty Beta Reader! Anyways….This Poem is very loosely connected to Harry Potter, but it's supposed to be Harry pondering after the "Great Magical War"…I don't know…I was bored?
