Cloud Cover
Cloud Cover A cover of darknessAcross the evening sunClouds forming shadowsA look of linen homespun Grey lined with silverA token resistanceTo the black blanket’sImpending persistence Magnificent painted skyA kaleidoscope of watercolorsEach evening a different paletteTo guide home the sailors Puffed and looking weightlessProviding shade when in motionSometimes crying with rainGiving to the earth with devotion The ever-changing canvasof cloudsContinue reading “Cloud Cover”
