clouds | a poem in my pocket

love like blue mounds state park

rose quartzite cliff first beckons, then

bewilders inexperienced rock climber

merry wren on fencepost sings counter-

melody to deeper tones of brown thrasher

tall cottonwood and strong gnarly oak

together shelter and shade young nesters

gathering clouds on horizon bend to kiss

soft sloping shoulder of open prairie

Jupiter pulls Venus into closer orbit

two planets dance as only stars in sky

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

( Psalm 19:1 )

surrounding us is

a great cloud of witnesses

awaiting the Day

* * * * *

when the King returns to earth,

riding on glorious clouds
