Looking Up (2024)

cumulus, nimbus, stratus clouds too
move through the air enriching sky's blue
forever changing as they drift by,
when watching the heavens above where I lie -

in every season, in day and too night
above in the sky a magnificent sight
encircles the planet embracing the world -
all is in motion swirling and twirled

often in colours engaging, sublime
inner reflections that tantalize mind
in early morning and before night
when Moon is a ghostly galleon sight

always the best show in town
is up in the sky and is easily found
gazing above to see what is there
is all that it takes to become aware

we're all breathing the same air
the water we drink goes everywhere
following forces we cannot see
I am in you and you are in me

forever changing as we drift by
while watching the heavens as we lie
cumulus, nimbus, stratus clouds too
move through the air enriching sky's blue...
