I See You Poem by Kimberly Burnham

I See You

Rating: 5.0


A cloud
a large collection
very tiny
droplets, water, ice crystals

So small and light
they float
near the ground
an invisible gas

Like ideas
expanding and cooling
water vapor condenses
coming powerfully together
around tiny pieces of dust
almost nothing but

Billions of droplets
become a visible cloud
puffy and white
rising in the sky

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is from a series of poems on clouds. There is a theory influencing movement disorders research, 'embodied simulation theory' that holds that when we see movement in a cloud or other ambiguous shape, mirror neurons make us feel the movement in our body. This series is for my upcoming book on Parkinson's disease and poetry.

there is a communion with clouds shaping our senses and our creative impulses. From the personal you have created an universal image. This is an important poem and I value it highly. Tom Billsborough
