A River Of Daydreams

The sky was filled with clouds today they hugged the mountains…hanging low… As a breeze picked up and the leaves were falling…I stopped to enjoy the show. As I watched the clouds move across the sky…sometimes independently…sometimes intertwined… They changed their appearance right before my eyes… and different stories crossed my mind. A cat was being chased by a dog…the cat looked quite chagrined… A herd of sheep came floating by being shepherded by the wind. A tall sailing ship formed suddenly…was it filled with pirates on this day… But, with the wind at its sails, that pirate ship…quickly faded away.. It turned into a castle…complete with turrets…all afloat. Was that a knight in shining armor…on the drawbridge o'er the moat? I saw a rabbit, a rather large one I saw a monkey and a mouse A rhinoceros, and a lion…and an elephant on a house. I saw the mouth of a monster open and eat a cupcake in one bite… and a whale right behind them…with a whale of an appetite. These stories swirled above me…clouds mixed with blue sky and sunbeams… It was as if I was sitting on the quiet bank…beside a river of day dreams. As their forms continued changing…like a silent movie…never loud… I had to wonder if great storytellers…have drawn inspiration from the clouds…
