Clouds



Clouds cascade from layered hills,
Climb mountains
Skirt offshore islands
Life, shaping meanings.

Sunset fills the sky,
Tracing cosmic runes
Spelling Creation’s name.

Dancing clouds
Universal alphabet
Of life and love.
Right here -
In these forests, lakes and mountains
Right now -
In every human heart.

Clouds skirt layered hills,
Mists and offshore islands.
Touch Creation’s syntax.
Gentle cascade.
