Eyes of the clouds
The winds curve the trees here,
Oxidizing in the decades of rust
coppery branches sprawl,
Climbing clouds heavy and grey
carry rain somewhere else,
With hands in the soil and
the standing horizons of sarcen,
The land demonstrating its worth
as a part of a language,
The earth to be aware of itself
ploughing through time and history,
The buzzard boosting its wings
drenching its feathers in air,
Where tight rays of light print shadows
across the ancient field,
The land as seen from the eyes of the cloud.

Hi Neil,
I enjoyed reading this poem and thinking about being a cloud and looking down.I think you have done very well with your poem.
