Pillows in the sky


Pillows in the sky
float in the breath of the wind
slowly moving,  soft flying views
Time to rest in the clear space of mind
Pillows in the sky
waiting, shining, showing
all the special things to find
Clouds like these pillows, in the sky
are not the only reason
for rest and for dreams
It's all more than it seems

You found me. :) I'm somewhere on a ' pillow in the sky, ' just floating on by. There's something so dreamy and magical about your words, Heidi. My heart is smiling. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you, always. :) Hugs, Brandy

Reminds me of Joni Mitchell's wonderful song "Both Sides Now". You describe clouds in a different, but delightfully descriptive way.

Dear Heidi, Congrats on POTD. You have this wonderful gift for taking simple observations and revealing the layers of meaning beneath them. I love spending time in nature and sometimes the most profound insights come from just... noticing what's already there. Blessings, Dear Heidi, Daniel
