Of Passing Cloud

Of Passing Cloud
 - Roger White

Unaware of the world below, a wispy cloud suspended between Heaven and Earth
drifts westward against an azure sky…
…blithely
As if coaxed by an unseen presence or hastened by a gentle call,  
reaches the setting sun of the western horizon…
…quietly  
Awash in hues of gold, beautiful and radiant,
delicate tendrils touch the night’s first stars…
…gently
A wispy cloud escapes the bonds of Earth, 
ascends into the embrace of Heaven…
…peacefully

I can see you staring up at the sky…a watchman. I love the clouds in Tucson Arizona…different than here in Georgia. A poet sees! Bless you!
