I Walked Into a Cloud. circa 3/30/2011


I walked into a cloud today;
  An illuminated cloud.
Not one that obscures the vision and envelops the light
  but one that makes the world clearer.
Perhaps because it made the world simpler.
  I could not see  before me or behind me.
All that was visible were my immediate surroundings,
  only where i was stepping next.
It clouded all thought of what was to come
  and what i had left behind
All speculations and worries of these things disappeared
  as their silhouettes were engulfed by a blinding whiteness.
I wasn't alone in finding a peaceful solace in this cloud
  there were others who came and went; drawn by the same enticing abyss.
They floated in and out of my vision as ghosts,
  in the light yet leaving no trace of shadow.
Their faces and features were concealed
  yet I felt their presence.
We all came because we were searching for something
  whether that was an answer, a refuge, or merely creative inspiration was unclear.
Either way we were connected; breathing in rhythm with the breaking waves
  isolated in our thoughts from the outside world.
Suddenly, a ray of sunlight broke through the mist tearing away our created sanctuary;
    But the thoughts, emotions, and feelings it provided could never be torn away.
I walked into a cloud today...
