the clouds in the sky today
reminded me of the drawings I made as a kid
the patches
the soapy-frothy, float like structures
marshmallow like texture
the slush and snow like color
hanging in the sky
as if someone suspended them in an art class
they moved silently across blue sky
across purple-pink-orange sunset
just like my painting
they were on top of everything
above the cars, roads, trees, freeways
way above the mountains....
on the edge of the page, the horizon
even higher than birds
with an ability or ego or both
to shielding the view of anything celestial beyond them
from a distance, they appear two dimensional
a base and a bubble
just like you'd draw them
from a distance
they appear like cotton candy
like you could stretch your hand and twirl a patch on a stick
cloud... a visible mass of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the Earth's atmosphere or the highest and farthest our eyes can see...a veil to what lies beyond
