Looking Down At The Clouds


The view from an airplane window
is an awesome, inspiring sight;
to be above the clouds, looking down
from such an astounding height.

Gazing in a hypnotic state,
thoughts of love and life and time
begin to swirl within the mind
during the initial climb.

One tall sky.

Looking down at the clouds
reminds me things are small,
hitting peaks is wonderful
but the reality of it all
is that what goes up must come down
and whether flying or on the ground
happiness can be easily found.

One tall sky.

::smiles::    I love this!   Clouds floating across the sky...like the thoughts that drift across the mind.  Oh, the many forms that appear.   Beautiful picture also.  Thank you.

Beautiful picture, Dixie, and I suppose it's natural to see things differently from way up there.  I'll have plenty of time for that because I'll soon be on my way to Seattle - long, long, flight!
