Clouds

You pick me up
Carry me
Into your distance
Into my dream
Floating
Weightless
I travel
To a world
Limited
Only by my imagination
Where you
Are ships
On a sea
Filled
With beasts of wonder
Passing between
Islands
Filled
With calling rook
And curlew's cry
Of moorland vast
Echoing the wild
Unbounded
Nature
Of the dream
Until
Skylark songstress
Ascending
Into dizzy heaven
Sings out
Heralding
The dawn
And my return
From cloud
From dream
