E. Pearl Anderson Poet Imagism

Mesmerized In Vapors

Acres upon acres of snow white clouds
Lie beyond our air flight window
Spans from horizon to horizon
As wide as we are high;
Bumpy clouds with ridges and valleys
Whiter than the white sands of Destin,
If only I could step out and walk
On those billows of brillian white fluff, then
When tired, I could lie down in a ridge
And pull a portion of cloud under my head
And pull another over me for warmth-
Ah, but that is impossible I think!
This airplane flies through the thick vapors so
The clouds would not hold me while suspended
six miles high above earth:
Yet, Jesus will return one day*
On an white horse riding on a cloud
What a day that will be_
Majesty and glory brighter
Than the glorious white I see-
                                 -EvelynPearl Anderson
