Summer Sails

Clouds floating on a celestial sea, headed for exotic places, beyond imagination, drifting aimlessly. Their lofty sails puffed like pillows, catch the wily wind, that gently poses and billows. Slowly, transforming, creating a disguise, becoming cats and rabbits, and dragons that fly. Stealthy and reticent, helmed at a steady pace, the sun in the east, the wind at their back, sailing, in beauty and grace. Title revised on June 10, 2022: "Summer Sails" Published in "The Journal", Early Summer edition 2022 ("The Journal"is a publication serving Upper Delaware Region, Pa,, N.J. and N.Y.)
