Look thee at clouds afloat in distant sky,
Sculptured sides of alabaster,
Rolling mounds of lustered glory,
Dyed with depths of heaven’s palette,
Robed in calm of light eternal.
A child looks up and sees the dawn,
The farmer sees the heat of day,
A dying man sees setting sun,
When all the while before their eyes,
Celestial cities grace high above.
They who bade the moon to journey,
Marked the heavens with the ages,
Beckon thee to gaze above,
To look upon, to ponder on,
Clouds afloat in distant sky.

The cloud formations are something else.
Especially like the idea how we all see
things differently.
