Chasing the Clouds

Chasing the Clouds
By J. Renae Conlee 

Here I go again, chasing those clouds on the horizon
Always in pursuit of the storm that I know will hit

The enticing sound of the thunder
The thrilling danger of the lightning
That will bring me to my knees when it strikes my heart
I know there will be trouble, know that it will hurt
But I won't turn back towards the sun, towards the safety of daylight
I'll keep chasing those clouds as long as I can
No one told me that the silver lining was made of tin.

Lost Soul

A restless spirit wants to fly
Grounded, held to earth
By responsibilities that keep the body here
The restless spirit wants to dance
Wants to kiss a stranger

Wants to do something dangerous
The head is in the clouds, the soul wants to live
But the feet are planted firmly in the ground
Aching to dance, aching to run
But no where to go, no one to go with.
