Who doesn't love to swim the clouds?

To fly, is to dream
it is to soar through the clouds
in hope of being free.

To be truly free, is to search the waves,
to search and breathe as one
with the clear air.

To soar, to tumble, to fall
from our hightened mount'
and to see, as we fall 
from our Olympus, perspective.

Who doesn't seek to fly?
Who doesn't look at the birds in envy?
Who doesn't dream?
But then who sees the truth from down here?

    Witnessed beauty

    We're blessed to be able to witness beauty:
    the drops of sunshine flickering off the trees,
    the scent of nature floating in the breeze,
    the songs of birds whistling around me. 

    Not too long ago, I was blessed by the sun –

    Lost Waves in the Ocean

    Today I call out,
    from a cloud.
    A sea of voices,
    A sea of choices,
    A sea of loud.

    I hear one of these
    fragile voices,
    a small wave
    on the ocean.
    I hear her scream
    out.
    Out into the wide
    open.

    Sinning Still

    Forgive me, for I have sinned.
    For I sat and only watched the
         passing wind.
    For on this day, I only
    lie still, I watch and do nothing
    to change the 
         passing wind.
