.
Clouds as light as air
Sail across the sky,
Voyagers of discovery
As in years gone by.
.
Whispers of pink appear,
Murmurs of lilac too,
Gold and silver highlights,
Lowlights of purplish-blue.
.
Farewell you travellers
Way up on high, adieu;
I wish you a safe journey,
As you fade into the blue.
.
NB – One of my favourite poets is back here. Enjoy!

It is very calming to lie back and watch the clouds and, maybe, doze a little… Glad you enjoyed it, John. 🙂

The colors the eternal travellers assume, and paint in the minds of onlookers are spectral. They are the visible DNA of our ephemeral existence. They move across the sky but take us along with them to our fancy lands.
Congrats Denise.
