Escape
a cloud drifted slowly by my window today
just where it was heading I did not know
and my spirit vaulted onto that billowing white pillow
as it had decided it so wished to go
the soaring heights I did achieve
the thrill of having not one single care
an escape from a frenzied reality
how I so longed to remain suspended there
yet I glanced back to from where it is I came
as the horizon began to disappear
and my spirit sighed a deep long breath
and in a moment I was back to here
the delight this jaunt provided me
was a moment I now share with you
for it was a restorative experience
and something you may also wish to do
and maybe someday again soon my friend
I will leap up to the sky and see
you riding on the same cloud I choose
and have you set out for a short journey with me
