For some reason
the childish fascination
with watching clouds
never left me.
Studying meteorology at university
hipped me to the hows and where-fores
of weather formation.
Climate is actually a
complex and lovely dance.
Even the Earth's turning
plays a part in the beautifully named
Coriolis effect.

Different clouds are formed
by different forces and conditions.
However, lest your fear
to lose the fascination
with too much information
don't worry;
The clouds, the sky
remain a vast unconscious
pageant, evoking heart
and art.
I M A G I N A T I O N.
In fact,
understanding what you are seeing
and being able to name it
adds a whole other dimension
to one's time spent consorting
with the sporting clouds.
The other day
idly musing,
slightly focused on the sky,
I saw the Trade Winds return!
The sky was congested
with milling clouds,
puffy one's formed over the island
going nowhere
in a Land/Sea regime.
But the trades were returning
and I happened to see them:
a fast moving cloud appeared
different from all the others;
Is that a heroic Hawaiian paddler
surrounded by surging surf/air,
a sea bird over his shoulder,
welcoming him to these islands??!!
I saw a weather situation,
and knew what it was,
but I also received a great
vision.
The only thing to do
was to write a poem.
I hope you like it:
I Saw the Trade Winds Return
I saw the Trades return today
gazing at the sky
docile clouds in a mass;
Then what should pass?
a canoe of mist
great voyager sits
upraised oar
passing before the
grazing fleece
quickly!
Sky/sea bird over his shoulder
all else in the sky that much slower-
I Saw their Passing
then heard the winds
stirred up and splashing;
Curtain curtseyed
admitting zephyr
cool-
I have seen the Trades Return
and so the Hawaiian Sky
has become my
school.
