From the Clouds

Gazing upwards I see stairs descending downward 
Toward me I see the Lord looking down on me 
I know I’m not worthy but thanks Lord for looking after me 
Saving my soul and my sanity
If only, He had touched ground that day  
But today was not the Day and anyway, 
I thought I heard Him say, “Wake up!” 

And at that very moment, I did.  In a cold sweat. 

Sleeping next to Bud, snuggled in a sleeping bag, under the stars 

                                                   with the occasional cloud passing by . . .
