"Cloudscaping"
Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

Blankets of moisture condense
displaying phantom mountainous terrain
skyward
Cumulus
fantasyscapes
towering into the upper atmosphere
shaping perception and imagination
spurring emotional reaction
Merely water
droplets and ice crystals
slowly, elegantly,
dreamily
morphing into white billowing majesty
hovering silently overhead
Shapeshifting
serenity
meditative meanderings
warm and cold front and center
beautifying the endless azure expanse
with definition and intelligent design
Cloudscaping
through eternities
reaching past the saturation point
condensing, morphing, meandering
Moving alongside
and above our memories
as we work, play, and dream
Angelic
architecture
fickle firmament
floating
fulfilling
forever
