Cloud

cumulus there dazzlingly bright
      floats above  in motionless flight
              teases, slow-dances furtively
                          deep skies of lapis lazuli!

Beautiful... Lapis is such a deep shade of blue... this line brings so much depth to this write. It is indicative of the depth of the writers soul. I love the vivid image this piece created in my mind. It brings back memories of laying back on the lawn as a child and picking out shapes and pictures in the painted skies above. Lovely write.

Beautiful with rich and lovely images! I love "deep skies of lapis lazuli", a true poet's painting written with artful words. :) Love, Amy
