Whispers of the Sky

nature free verse place memory

Clouds as slow handwriting.

Clouds do not whisper secrets to me. They draft and erase — cotton, thunderhead, silver dissolving when the sun insists on a rewrite.

I watch from the yard, thirteen and stationary, while the sky commutes.

Serenity is not permanence. It is shape-change you cannot stop, only witness.

Youth is declined as moral. Attention is the point.

The next billow covers what the last one said.
