A blanket of cloud, low, low-low, claims the right to traverse the sky and it moves with the wind like a devil would run away from the wrath of the righteous. But it fragments and breaks and loses itself like a babe plucked too soon from the womb and leaves in its wake the faintest of trail only the wise can follow. Not wise and yet I see what’s been lost through the haze of a million tears for who can not cry at the split of a heart and the break of a mind’s solid base? The cloud rolls on seemingly unaware like a man turns away from a woman in search of himself in prosperity and not in a woman’s eyes. But I shade my eyes here, now, on the ground lest I shatter illusions of greatness in the showing of what I perceive by the grace of the wisdom in me! Helen / 13 February 2007 |
