Clouds Are For Dreaming

Don’t give me the science
I prefer to dream

floating on pillows of white
carried over land and sea

lifted sunward, inspired –
no, please don’t tell me otherwise

Clouds transport me,
Heaven bound.

(For Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: clouds)

Wonderful title that says it all, with those lovely photos. I’ve been dreaming with clouds since I was a wee one. 🙂
