Misted

For just a moment it was there For just a moment I saw The clouds in the heavens It seems had begun to fall Lingering in the meadows Embracing all the shadows They had come down to rest on the earth As the sun rose, announcing day's birth Who, but me, could have foreseen What was witnessed in that fraction of an instant I understood all that I possessed And what it truly meant For you've somehow brought the clouds to my feet Just as they were in that distant field Strange how I never understood I was incomplete Or grasped the transformation I could feel How few mortals have taken a walk through the clouds Who can say they've experienced both the transitory and the unearthly Is this transpiration even allowed? And is it something of which I'm worthy? For just a moment I was there For just a moment in the air As I walked on the clouds with you Knowing it was all I ever wanted to do.
