1041

Out there in land of sleep,

Fantasy awaits some we keep;

Forgetting night's dream

I awake, with a blank mind,

For a day that's kind;

With  vast  world  before me, 

It's happening can't you see,

There above us, oh so high,

Clouds mapping sky.

    I like the rhyme scheme, the imagery and, especially, those ‘clouds mapping sky’.

    A lovely poem, and I know I'm echoing, but "clouds mapping sky" is such a beautiful ending! 💙

    I like your using the clouds as maps. They change, slowly but change is to be expected. I suppose the early sailors used them like that until their technology could invent the compass and other helps. Your rhymes add also, they worked good for you.

    I love this which makes me think that it is the clouds that give meaning to the sky
