These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Waiting Under the Clouds

Today it's hot, and soon 'twill be
the land of summer heat, again,
but now I sit 'neath clouds so free,
that hide the sun from earthly men.

The clouds can hide my thoughts as well,
confusing what life seems to be,
but clouds can't cover words that tell
the Truth of God with hearts made free.

These days are earthly, cloudy mush,
uncertain paths, the way to walk.
The clear Day with its green so lush
will bring us time for coffee, talk.
