Beyond the Hills

As the cloud floats up in the hills
We watch it from a distance
We think we are so far away
and can’t reach it..
And then in an instant, 
It brings itself to us
filling us with wonderments
of its changes-
We chase it 
as it transforms
into an elephant, 
a monster, 
a flying bird…
and before we know it 
our heads are encircled by it
becoming what it is, 
and we see what we are
beyond the hills
from a distance.

I have not been on the soup for almost a week to read and comment. I have enjoyed being able to read your poetry this morning. I wanted to stop by to thank you for the comments you made during my absence from the soup. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment Aida. Love, Carol"
