Wondering On a Cloud

while wondering on a cloud
  it occurs to me
that ants know neither future
  nor past

although I am to a bug
  as Mt. Everest is to me
clouds
  ignore us both

I would like to think so. If not, I have done some things that may rain-down on me someday, storms that I was hoping I had escaped:). Love it! Good work, Gershon.

Yes universally described planet earth is but a spec of dust as ants are to us - clever about the clouds. Blessings my friend, Jennifer.
