what better canvas
than a big, open sky,
where the cloud moves,
and imagination shapes
apparitions illusive,
and a gentle breeze blows,
wiping the slate clean,
a fresh canvas presented
to paint one’s masterpiece.

I soar to an unknown beyond
far above the clouds
gingerly I tread
my eyes on the rising sun
I soar
riding the sun rays
to an unknown beyond
freed from the bondings
holding me to the earth
I soar
a path unknown
but a journey beautiful
can only imagine
the adventure and
excitement that lies beyond
let me ride the
waves of your love
and for you
leaving behind the
story of my life
I soar
to an unknown beyond
Am I wrong to love my muse?
This poem started as a comment to this question posed by one of the most talented poet (thelonelyauthorblog ) I have the good fortune to interact with. Thank you Drew.

Almaden Valley after the rains
How green is my valley
It’s still winter
With advent of spring
When the world will
Turn green
Rain clouds will part
Sun will shine bright
Alas
My valley will turn
Golden brown again
Warning
Warning clouds rumble on the horizon
Anxious citizens play wait and see game
Rich are getting ready to get richer
Never in doubt about the outcome
Insecure dreamers dread doubtful future
Not knowing what will happen with their lives
Greed is getting ready to trump good for ever
Warning to all of us who chose to ignore
Are we now ready to pay the price
Risk of a nation divided by ugly vitriolics
Novelty of change will wear out soon
Immigrants are bad unless wives of POTUS elect
Narcissist nabob will make the people dance
Great hyperbole will trump common sense
Warning message to those who did not care
All’s not lost yet if you dare to oppose
Russian puppet shows ruining your life
Now is the time to come together
Insure that you won’t be rolled over
Need to be vigilant to preserve hard won rights
Get ready to trump their evil designs
A Clearing in the Clouds
Storm clouds will pass, sunshine will follow. But a tired body looks out for some place to rest.
A Clearing in the Clouds
Searching for the silver lining
In each passing cloud
As the storms roll by
Shelters hard to find
Know there is a tomorrow
Storms will pass
Clouds will clear
There will be sunshine
But for now I will settle for
A clearing in the clouds
To rest my tired bones
