Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

Blue skies beckon my eyes to rise up
- look up -
Look up!They say and see beyond
See further than you have seen before
Read the clouds as they fly slowly by
Each telling a story if one listens to hear
Look up!They say and listen to the song
The music takes one further than what is known today
A fine lace of clarity and truth falls like mist
And I know how little I do know and I know
What I do know is true, but, oh, there is so much more
Blue skies enfold me; hold me, hugging me close
Taking me beyond the love I know now
I look for you in the blue skies
And I hear your story in the clouds.

I think you are looking for cloud 9, a very hard cloud to find.

A soft critique, if I may...

I enjoy your line breaks,

but between a few of the stanzas, I would
have liked to have seen the space between them,

and I could have truly rested
on the clouds.

I enjoyed the sound of it, Aziza...

at least, in my own voice, it was wonderful.  
I would love to hear the same
in your voice.

Aziza, I also love to look into the clouds
and read them. This is a beautiful poem.
Hugs,

Blue skies beckon my eyes
- look up -
Look up!  and see beyond
Read the clouds as they drift by
Each tells a story if one only listens
Look up!  and listen to the song
A fine lace of clarity falls like mist
My knowledge is truth
but, oh, there is so much more to learn
Blue skies enfold me
I look for you among them
And I hear your story in the clouds.

Sunshine,
I do so thank you for the critique and welcome it any time.  I got lost in re-write and forgot the space.  I think I write like I talk ... quickly.

Thank you again ..
