TRANSFORMATION

For every cloud there's a face

born to carry its message then lost without trace,

there's no death in a cloud, only transformation

but faces we can't forget

some on their way to redemption

and others to damnation.

Graham, I can't recommend them enough! It is odd though...

They are my desktop screensaver. How odd?

Thank you John, Stephen and Holden for your continued interest.

Clouds are integral to the idea of poetry, and share much with humans in terms of threat or comfort ! Thanks Stephen.

That's right, Ray. There's no death in a cloud. Perhaps that's what makes them so fascinating (and reassuring) to look at.
