Cloudshaping


i prayed myself out of a bad dream; woke up way before the dawn, exhausted; couldn't go back to sleep brewed some tea and turned on the TV with a pack of plaintain chips in one hand, and there was President Obama making the announcement (live) on CNN that the al Quaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was slain

clouds shaping
the morning sky
a dove alit on
the electric wire

The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. -- Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) more here...

moving clouds
gusty winds
changing the shape
--Adelaide Shaw

the doves thoughts
unaware of their danger
imprinted minds
--Magyar
