A Walk in the Clouds

I would give anything
to take a walk in the clouds,
to see a rainbow bend backwards
and hug itself around;
watch a star-spangled canopy
wrap the earth warm at night;
wait for the morning sun
to unwrap its gifts with light;
see water and earth explode
to send stardust adrift,
feel the breath of life fill
in every atom, a perfect fit;
Oh, how I would love
to take a walk in the clouds,
to wake up from my slumber,
untangle my heart, from its shroud.
