Away on a Cloud Ship…
Away on a cloud ship
Not a care have I
I play with the breezes
Way up in the sky
I ride on the rainbows
As cloudy storms cry
Then sail with the eagles
And soar on their sighs.
The cool air floats past me
Like gossamer wings
I float on the air streams
That rise like wellsprings
And join with the nimbus,
As cloud songs we sing -
To somersault, hopscotch,
In airy handsprings.
I high five with thunder –
See glory ablaze –
Then gather up sunbeams
For dark rainy days
And make chains of moonbeams
From soft, moonlit rays
To raise up to God’s ears
A new psalm of praise.

The blank page that was staring at me
is now overflowing with typography
Nothing I've written means anything
yet here I am, doing handsprings

the words
tumbled forth
like a waterfall
over a steep cliff
and when they
hit bottom
as words inevitably
will
they did handsprings
backflips
somersaults
and kept on
laughing

My heart's handsprings
foretell the weather
As warmth sweeps in
on robin's feather
Knit cap's removed
Sleeves bare white arms ~
Delicate flower-petals sway
Spring's charms in April-May
