Low hanging clouds,
valleys both sides,
light grey stills the space
between the hills
on this glistening morn.
Four ridge lines east,
near-pristine California mountains,
beyond the valley cloud
I do observe
which now rises, settles,
drifts on, tucks in and down ~
it fits perfectly in its hollow.
The cloud on the other side,
to the west,
in the valley d'Canyon,
above the post office and school,
settles deeper, lowers,
Taoist water dragon of vapor,
sleeping, lumbering, hunkering,
a long water form
between the green of the trees
of the valley on each side.
What is that song "All through the night?,"
but on this day, this jubilant light-filled morn!
The clouds, on both sides,
whisper themselves away,
and I take some photos.
