CLOUDS
On those special summer days
when riding on the wind,
the wispy clouds do build,
from tiny wisps, scattered across the sky,
to massive cumulus, exploding upwards
with power to unleash,
Thor's awesome thunderbolts.
But the mighty cumulus have power
greater than the lightning's flash
or thunder's rumbling roar.
Power to reach into man's mind eye,
and bring forth creatures
great and small.
What man has not looked up to the clouds,
on one of those special summer days
and found in the clouds a portrait,
a gauzy replica of most anything
His finite mind can see?
Lions and tigers, castles and ships,
floating ever so slowly on the air.
A blink of the eye, is all it takes,
to change the ethereal channel's scene,
to some equally heroic masterpiece,
on that canvas in the air.
(William E. Clark, 1984)
