Notes About The Poem

When you see it ... Photo -- Whale Shaped Cloud in New Zealand

Clouds Blowing in the Wind

The clouds are swirling in the wind,
Unique designs appear within.
An artist’s brush could be the air,
For many forms are found up there.

Look up there, it’s a swimming whale,
‘Twill quickly change with the next gale.
It seems so strange to change so much,
It makes it hard to keep in touch.

There’s a ship with the flag raised high,
It slowly fades as it drifts by.
A dragon flies upon the mast,
With raging winds, it will not last.

One way to live with all this change,
Enjoy each form when it’s in range.
Then like a child with a new toy,
Each change will bring with it more joy.

Don’t allow fear to have its way,
Change will come with every new day.
Giving us a chance to mature,
A better chance to feel secure.

Lovely childlike insight into changing phenomenon. Good playful rhyme. Clear write up of nature for divine messages. I enjoyed a ‘dragon flies upon the mast’. Well done, Bill. Blessings from South Africa to Texas.

I do enjoy seeing what my mind can form in the drifting clouds. Thanks for the visit and comment, Ghairo. I never made it to Africa, and at 80 I doubt I every get to enjoy its beauty in this lifetime. Have a great week! Bill
