Cumulo nimbi fly high
upon a pristine cobalt sky,
capturing a poet-mind’s eye,
holding it suspended,
in a dream-trance;
then spinning it round and round
in a celestial dance
reflecting cloud-shadows
as they touch down,
twirling time-space
beyond the grounded mind
into the eternal
cosmic void.

VERY interesting write!

I am especially fond of:

"spinning...round and round
in a celestial dance
reflecting cloud-shadows
as they touch down,
twirling time-space
beyond the grounded mind
into the eternal
cosmic void."

for me, this once again speaks
of the "Universalist" paradigm!

serious applause!!

From one cloud gazer to another, this was exquisitely beautiful!

I am tucking this little gem into my treasure trove.

Giving you a fluffy, white cumulus hug,

Thank you WW and ArtSolstice! I love watching clouds, usually see animals or plants dancing around the various formations.

I loved this poem.  And you see "animals and plants". I usually see animals and faces. I wonder what if anything it says or can we tell by things we see in flowered wallpaper
and clouds. I used to, as a child and can still do it I suppose, keep mysef entertained by looking at the wallpaper and seeing all sort of faces. Love your posts and always look forward to reading you. "late"
