Following Clouds

Clouds scud by my rooftops quickly
Infuse in me the movement of the earth
Shifting storms against late yellow sky
The moment by moment of timelessness

Front coming in, unaware I'm standing here
looking up and judging preparations
Anxious to be taken unprepared
Swept along to other darker continents

Something wrong with building fortresses
A bid to stand against it all, planting trees
holding on, holding back, holding out
Out of breath with clutching at eternity

Eyes too full of tears to see the slide
of dark and light, amazing color splashed
Structure deconstructed, particles ablaze
Dimension all adrift, following clouds
