Clouds
-
Winging high in the sky
- Where the rainclouds lie
- To the thundergod they say
- They will blaze the night away
- But instead in their array
- Their mantel, sheepskin grey
- They hide the sun that peeks
- Again beneath their skirts
- When the sea on alert
- Casts a silver whaling lane
- To the drop of the horizon
- A ribbon of cream
- In the haze of the evening
- The sun's cheeky grin
- Gilds a distant field of clouds
- To the thundergod's rage
- It's a bright summer evening
- And we travel down the whale's lane
- Off the edge of the world
- Into the sand we've plod along
