languid afternoon
cottonball clouds drift across
an expansive sky
creating elaborate patterns
for painters to interpret

It was a gloomy afternoon, but while you were watching the clouds in the sky, you became an artistic sensation. I like your sensibility.

Beautiful choice of words, great imagery, loved the last line- it tends to be all we can do - interpret nature with the model in which our brain creates, but one cannot not negate the aethetic beauty that whirls around us, that you encapsulated brilliantly just with these few words, thanks for this. Regards, Gavin.
