Cloud Music

A restless sky becomes
a high operatic act,
a bright stratosphere
stage lights that performance art.
Then there is the counterpoint
of a calm cloudiness,
slow variations
writing airy, occasional music.

Clouds scud and billow,
a nymphic dance
dressed to mesmerize.
The misty nebular is symphonic,
always beginning
always unfinished.
Rhythmic movements
that are joined
to the beat of your heart.

When you gaze through
that first window of light,
when you raise your spiritual baton
in that open air concert
you are both
the music and the audience.
