Drifting On a Cloud

Drifting on the clouds I lie With my head pointing To yonder skies In a sea of dreams Where mind and spirit Igniting natures prize To feel like you are heaven bound But feet standing firmly On hallowed ground But in the clouds you drift As the cascade shifts Your feet no longer touching The ground A lift off to a peaceful place an Ease from pain Heading to heaven On the now train No heading back Settling in your own time Welcoming rain An escape For the things that beset us Riding our backs Painting the surfaces Filling the cracks No longer weary Nor hearing sounds of hungry cries Heading to glory With the echoing of lullabies Off on a voyage With an opt out clause Given by nature When we stop and pause Discarding distress, And inflicted pains, Looking for a redress With sweet Refrains eyes wide opened To a beauty and a guile Painted by nature By the clouds on high So I decided to pause for a little while Taking nature in my stride Story’s written in the clouds artist at play Mixing the co lours Painting a picture Inviting a crowd Having her say Without uttering a word How the lines are drawn The bold highlights, And intricate designs Nature’s Way In shades of grey and pastel blue With the turquoise borders Depths of indigo How can I not be taken in Blending with unison Of a presence and a place Is it not inspiration? That brought me here My resting place! That there is peace and harmony In yonder skies Wrapped in a woolen shroud, Floating on high As on a cloud I now reside Homeward bound While in the depth Of an azure sea, over yonder a tide does wake Surging to inner shore A surfers dream Riding its waves Horizontally, I must glide To cross over in spirit of the other side I am at a time and place Where though imagery we can foretaste Although somewhere different in time and space It must be like being in heaven , when nature take its place At the cent re of the stage revealing its beauty So humble yet so almighty There is complexity in every art the very corners and intricate parts Inviting the eye Taking time out on a page Syncing with beauty Looking from the sky Floating on high In a woolen casket Weightlessly Drifting on by I am in no race Just run life’s race Off on another journey A different time and a different place An escape from the rat race To find a new place Full of joy and grace That I would always be floating from the skies While the north east trades go wonder Pushing on by to open the seven seals blessing my eyes See what picture is painted And the wisdom that it derived In secrets of the wise Recovering lost virtues From failure to realize Imbalance of the senses one cannot deny But to approach beauty you have to switch off others for another to come alive Its not faking reality But letting spirituality in To be sublime but not yet ridiculous But moving to another realm Enjoying earthly blessings While wishing changes in
