Spirit In the Sky

.                                   
                                         patchwork clouds of gold

                                       calm waters reflect Heaven

                                          coastal rocks watching

Hello, my friend! I noticed this poem was listed in the top 100 poems of the past two weeks (along with several others of yours). Yeah! I like this description of the clouds as "patchwork clouds".
