Winter clouds  float in vague shades of grey

The clouds  float in  the vaguer shades of grey
Stroking like the silk shawls women wore
Mauve and lilac ,blue  and white today

In summer,whispy white clouds wander by
Leaving no long shadows on the doors
Winter clouds  sail in vague shades of grey

The sky is most exquisite  when light plays
Making patterns on the wooden floors
Mauve and lilac ,blush pink in delay

Eternal as the sea in Dover Bay
Without that marvelled ocean and its roar
Winter clouds  float vaguely in dark grey

The sky conveys no message but a prayer
That humans should   retaliate  no more
Mauve and lilac ,yellow as  sun strayed

Who would act so well as Satan’s whores?
Who so harshly, inhumanely, swore?
The clouds  float by in   vaguer shades of grey
Mauve and lilac, sad  as words may  say
