A Wandering Cloud

Cirrus clouds. (Picture taken by Marylin Warner)

Caught up with some blog posts during my lunch break today.  As usual in the office a bit fed up but as usual after reading a few of my twitter friends posts I was in a better mood.

Marylin Warner over at 'Things I want to tell my Mother' wrote another inspiring post entitled 'The Way to Love Anything', calling on a past conversation and painting session with her mother, on cloud formations as the theme.  Marylin's Mom suffers from Dementia and her blog is her weekly letter to her Mom reminding her of the life she enjoyed as a mother and friend and teacher. Marylin's post, inspired me to this little bit of nonsense

cirriform, cumuliform and convective

rolling and rippling in the sky above

Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria rolling, rippling and stumbling in the seas around us

clouds in heaven painting our imagination and being, sometimes, our inspiration

Ships in the sea of a bygone era slowly bringing to us men of inspiration

Well that’s the best I can come up with, but as usual your posts seem to bring out something in me and make me do what I usually avoid,......

Marylin liked it, so I thought I would share
