Above the Clouds
He waits above the clouds, unbothered by the rush of society. The winds whisper sweet songs, their language unknown to all. He breathes the mountain air, life exuding from his chest. Each breath he takes he becomes closer to the nature surrounding him. He goes by many names, but responds to none. He is both everything and nothing at the same time. As he admires the otherworldly views surrounding him, he realizes the importance of solidarity. His entire morning was spent getting to this point, and yet he realizes that it was more relaxing than he first imagined. As he takes the next puff, he realizes that he can never go back to normal, with the relaxation pulsating from his body. He realizes a never-ending connection between his lips and the sweet plant of life, and he will never go back. As Snoop finishes this miracle plant, he realizes that marijuana is the essence of life. His heightened position makes everything more clear.

Author's Note
This was the second poem I wrote. Descending into the wilderness of Rocky Mountain Natural Park, I realized all of God's gifts lie in one place. The otherworldly imagery that is depicted in this poem makes the reader feel like they are above the clouds with G-d himself. A gateway to the divine.

I’ve been browsing this website for a very long time and I must say this poem is truly one of the best debut poems I have ever read. The picture it painted in my head was absolutely magnificent, and I could relate to it so much. It had me on the verge of tears. Well done John. I look forward to reading more of your work!

I find that this poem directly indicates the human experience. It adequately highlights the glorious pleasures of the devil’s lettuce, and it exemplifies the culture surrounding this Magical plant. Overall a profound and deeply enjoyable piece.

I love the language you use in this poem and how it is descriptive yet ambiguous. The way you describe this miracle plant is wonderful! Great work!
