Stratus Spheres

When stratus is strung
 with artist's lattice
 and letters are spun
 as cotton cumulus

I bend in awe of
 resounding matter
 expressing substance
 beyond human dressings

Stilled in silvered
 lines of sanity
 hanging covertly
 for all to survey

Wisdom proclaimed
 displayed openly
 for viewing;
 pursuing

 should perception's
 glance be longer
 than a split second

Imagine what
 awaits 
 a discerning eye

 if only?

Wow! I haven't seen this one before. I love "silvered lines of sanity" and the last stanza about a discerning eye. In fact, I love all of it. 8-)
