Cloud Stories

i shall listen
to the stories of the clouds tonight.
and...
when they're done,
i shall drift
back into the world.

they forbid me to take
pictures
of the sacred light,
so...
all i can do is
express my wonder
and fascination,
and convince
one more person...
to go up and
listen
to what they
have to say.



as life tenses up, and new horizons reach near,
thoughts from days past...

remember how I had this poem, as well as so many others by you, taped to my 512 door? (mmm 512 to 211. over) the poem is now off the door, and in my book of favorite poems. still to be illustrated, but well loved. I read it, think of you, and smile.

thanks
