A Cloud Lion Poem by Helen Gaudin

A lion walked the clouds this morning
Distant, ethereal, dreamlike
As the new born sun blazed it path
Across the high blue

A new day full of possibilities
My mind unfurls in the bright light
Flying off along endless pathways
Expanding into the high blue

Maybe this, maybe that will be done today
Harp notes and bird song fill my ears
Echoing through the endless space
That is inside my head

Above me, the sky goes on and on
Inside me my spirit stretches, expanding
Encompassing a world of my making
Reaching out to embrace the endless

A cloud lion in the forever blue
A sun sent promise of beauty
A new day for my spirit to soar
Under the high blue.
