From Above

I often gaze up at the clouds From miles and miles below And marvel at their shapes and wonder Where they seem to go. From gossamer to cotton ball, They shift and drift on high To pique our interest in The giant canvas of the sky. Yet looking down upon them From the window of a plane, They hardly seem to move at all, But in their spots remain. Suspended wisps or mountain groups They float, so blinding white And surely everyone should gawk With absolute delight. Still, jaded passengers refrain From even one quick glance But oh, I love to watch the clouds When I'm allowed the chance.

That is a very beautiful poem. I also marvel at the clouds. "Canvas of the sky." It truly is awe inspiring.
