the air was crisp
the kind of air that wakes you up
the kind of wind that let's you know it is still there
but i looked to the mountains
and saw the clouds swimming round them
vapours collecting in certain areas
see them spilling over the top
so beautiful it hurts
the sun casting its light
on an ever changing panorama
we are mere mortals
from time to time we look up
from our day and see this
we smile at it
love it
even as it portends bad weather
for it is merely the earth's time for cleaning
a time when things are set right
as much as they can
to restore the majesty of this world
on another plain someone watches
