I like to watch the clouds.
And not just because of the shapes:
Cottony characters, creatures and the
Fancies of those lazy days.
Not because of the aura
Of the sun that peeks
From between the curtains
In lovely orange streaks.`
Not because they’re moving
Forever ahead;
Without a care in the world:
No joy, no dread.
And certainly not because
Their colossal aspect
Reminds me of my own triviality
And fills me with respect.
I watch the clouds because
They fill me with fascination
For sharing with so many others
The beauty of creation.
And because it reminds me of my part
In this beautiful manifestation
Of God’s divine art
And fills me with elation.
