Above the Clouds

The summer sky is such a pretty blue
above us, looking like a tranquil sea..
There are not many clouds except a few.
Up there with you is where I’d love to be!

I picture us both soaring to the sky
into that oceanic blue expanse;
above the clouds is where we ought to fly,
where, like two joyful angels, we would dance!

We’d spin about as if our feet had wings
that lightly touched on an unparalleled 
softness! And in my imaginings, 
I see us there with happiness unquelled.

Removed at last from earthly cares and crowds,
we’d stay in cool blue sky above the clouds.


For  Drake Eszes' Above the Clouds poetry contest

    This reminds me of feelings generated by a fine waltz and two waltzers. Love it. Love, daver

    Clearly you know exactly what's up above the clouds and what you expect from it. A truly remarkable piece.

    We have not seen too many blue skies this month in New Jersey. Lately, we have had quite a bit of rain. However, your writing is very admirable as usual.
