Across A Summer Sky

Across a summer sky, I see
White clouds are racing recklessly.
Rolling in a ceasleless motion
And I get a sudden notion,
I would like to rush like they.
Travel many miles away.
Endless miles and dizzy heights,
Drunk on summer winds and sights
That I have never seen before
And with the whole world to explore.

Imagine soaring over sea
With just the moon for company.
Bringing earth the gift of rain
To renew itself again.
Casting shadows and display
Many different shapes each day.
Then making thunder, lightning too
And all the other things clouds do.
What a freedom that would be.
Up, traveling to infinity!

Lovely imagination Betty.  This would certainly be fun.  If the airplane had never been invented you would probably invent it. Love, Joyce

Dear Joyce:  Thanks so much for your sweet comments. However, I think you are giving me too much credit!  The only airplane I could master was a paper one!
