floating clouds


2015, from the flight

I step in a fairyland

Where the clouds formed castles

And then moved away

...dismantling them.

With the direction of the wind

New shapes emerged

From the integrated fragments

 

The child within me

Learnt to silently observe

The playful clouds.

Clouds still remain the same.

As I sit down

Beneath the night sky

In the blink of an eye

Constellations disappear.
Wrapped in a white cloud

Of consciousness

I let my imagination float

Higher and higher.

  4. I've always loved clouds. It's a bit of a sad commentary on the world I live in that I now have to consciously allow my imagination to see wondrous things in the shapes.

  6. Your poem Takes me to another Poem.
    " If you open yourself to the Tao
    You are at one with the Tao,
    and you can embody it completely.
    Open yourself to the Tao
    Then trust Your natural responses
    And everything will fall into place."
