Cloud Walking
The winds roll down across the cloudless skies,
a lone plane drifts out into the blue searching
for clouds, no one knows what she will find
this day, no one knows where she will be when
she finds it, but the children stop in their play
to yell and wave anyway.
The world is wide, the expansive ocean’s hue
reflecting on the wings, the Lady’s Luck rides
the updraft, a lone seagull, the swallow’s cry,
she squints out through the sun filtered screens
looking for her islands, looking for their hope
looking for love in the heavens above.
Soon, the oceans of air give way to coasts
so soft that when the mists reach out to tickle
the air-streamed body, her laughter is whisper
quiet, as the sun fades in down in the ghosts
of the night.
Dreams spin away, Her pilot sings the lullaby
to the children who wait down below, the stars
peeking around the clouds, as the rain begins
its descent, this is why she walked here in the
clouds, heaven sent.
