The ground was hard.
But I learned to hop
to hope
and with great effort
to hover,
briefly.
Glaze-wonders dazzled.
Generous breezes
hinted,
then moved me;
I could
glide!
But lift equaled
effort-
until it didn't.
Thy sky
thy clouds
they comfort me!
And touching the
ground,
the Earth,
is no longer
a 'come-down'
but
benediction
till at last
one day
I float away
beyond the final
effort.
YOUr Visit
makes my day!
Thanks so much
Warmly, cloudia
lovely
