THE CLOUDS COME DOWN

maybe one day the clouds will come down

we'll walk on silver, peach. or crimson

on the gauziest ground and seem so winsome

through fields of evanescence

being oh so pleasant, forgetting the thunders.

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

the beautiful elusive, and not quite so conclusive

with flight so close at hand

singing slightly stranded

with the rainbow banded,

mama said, what is it?

the clouds came for a visit

whispering like the rains

our cumulo refrains.
