Cumulus Clouds

August 22, 2013

i was taking stroll across a tightrope

it spanned the greatest of cumulus clouds

i walked back and forth

day by day, hoping that eventually i would be struck down

Then lightning clapped like the hands of god

and i fell and cried as i fell

because i thought I'd hit the ground

but i landed in your arms, which are softer than cumulus clouds
