There's nothing twixt the air and land and so I stay quite unaware and though the clouds purport to be something solid, tangible, I know they're simply wake-up calls calling, calling, calling, "Look up, look up, look at me". Perhaps they're vain and simply are in need of my admiring stare but perhaps they're like an opening into what lies beyond. They disappear sometimes to be cheerleaders on the side-lines but no participants appear and of spectators there are none. So the beyond remains alone saddened by my absence and builds up tension deep within the sphere of immortal love. I cry sometimes for that beyond and I cry for me unwilling now to ere believe but I hear them still; they sing to me of hope's sure company. I can close my eyes, not look above, can still the hope within but I can't and simply cannot ever close my ears! Helen / 19 April 2011 |

Dissecting clouds and doing it in a most enjoyable way, even if there are moments of awkwardness -- not of your delightful poem -- but from the clouds themselves. They, like their human counterpart, are fickle on any given day. ~ Don't insult the alligator till after you cross the river. ~ |

Thanks, Lori and Jerry. Yes, the fickleness of man - no getting away from it. Helen |

Interesting visions, dear Helen. I do enjoy your way of pondering love. LOVE IS. Immortal, yes. No one but you can put limits to it. In the beyond there is no sadness, everything flows in blissful awareness that love wraps us and keeps us warm, forever. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Yes, I think poets have a special connection with "the beyond," Helen. Obviously, you do. Ida |

Yes, Ida, I think you're right and considering how different our interpretations are of that "beyond" it sort of proves that ... as in heaven so on earth. Something like that. Helen |
