Poem
Image: Cloud Fantasy, by Susan Lawrence On spring's green carpet I repose, revitalizing the soul passing slow minutes pondering the sky The lake whispers a morning meditation as memories abound of cloud fantasies a thousand ships of condensation dreams Assorted sizes, shifting shapes capriciously changing contours and colors white, dun, pewter gray, dusky purple magically mirroring my many moods Fleecy, flitting, tiny, quiet, wispy cirrus all alone like first day of school in a new town Thunderheads colliding with cold fronts hurling lightning in angry retribution resolute battleships storming towards war Stratus clouds, flat and unruffled soothing, like grandma holding a cookie sheet embracing landscapes like a comforting blanket hugging hilltops in a friendly fog Misting up at a feel good story spilling tears on the gloomiest of days A nimbostratus orchestra performing a symphony of snow for mountain dwellers a reverie of rain for desert denizens Bouffant hairdo like a 60's prom queen strutting across the sky adjusting her tiara cotton ball cumulus, billowy like a verbose uncle enhancing sunsets with colorful stories ..... The soul of the sky is Sol- our daylight and warmth, essence and marrow The stars are sky's artists painting our stories- archers, dippers, swans, seven sisters, scorpions, lions, hunters, heroes The heart of the sky is Luna- a nightlight for sleepy children a lamppost where lovers meet a lantern for the darkest of trails but clouds are the personality of the sky written 24 May, 2022 //Inspired by the wonderful art of PS member Susan Lawrence, after viewing her landscape paintings at susanlawrence.net. Each landscape is framed by a different personality of cloud; I encourage all to pay a visit to her website to enjoy her portraits and abstracts as well as landscapes ~ John//
