Let Clouds Accumulate on Their Own

Let Clouds Accumulate on Their Own

Let information be scaled down:
Dreams are on the way.
He needs to begin
When the world pushes too hard
On him.

His daughter says
He's been sending her poems
At two in the morning:
Testimony to the doctor
That he hasn't been sleeping well.

It is just that
For some things
He gets very low marks.

Elements of a dream
Don't accumulate like coupons
At the grocery store:
They dissipate
Before the dream's recounted
To lover
Or daughter.

It would really distress him
If no one else loved her
On a Thursday afternoon.

It is important to let those we love know that we care...even at 2 in the morning.

Nice sentiment throughout.
