Rain Clouds

As sadness creeps into my life, the dark time has begun

Rain clouds feed the sodden earth and hides away the sun

Birds have no song to sing no wish fly upon the wing

Flowers lack a sweet perfume roses cannot bloom

I sing a song without a note no melody, no tune

My life is empty without you my world is cold and dark

I ponder my existence, above me a question mark

We were never together not even a might be

We leaned upon each other you were the apple on my tree

We shared our secrets hope and fears our happiness and tears

I never realized just how much your nearness meant to me

I was fine just getting old in slippers and dressing gown

But then you came along and turned my whole world upside down

Two souls drifting seeking not knowing what or why

Just knowing there was an emptiness that reached up to the sky

Now we must go our separate ways walking the unknown path

Oh how I will miss that smile of yours and your infectious laugh

And how you worked your magic on me you never did things by half

I will kiss your cheek and wish you luck with lots of joy and fun

I wave farewell the deed is done as rain clouds fade the sun
