The Clouds Come Down

maybe one day the clouds will come down

we'll walk on silver, peach. or crimson

on the softest ground

through fields of evanescence

how lovely to be opaque

translucent as a lake

to float there or to seem to

substance of a dream

the sheen too

in cloud land

roaming

ghosts of ourselves only better

in a strange kind of weather

beautiful and elusive, with flight so close at hand

singing with the grounded birds, the rainbow bands,

whispering like the rains

our cumulo refrains.
