White Clouds In Blue Sky

White Clouds In Blue Sky

Somewhere meaningless in vast urban maze
on abandoned grass lot by chain-link fence
I gaze up to see white clouds in blue sky
and sense sweet beauty beyond time and place.

For ten million years in each vale on Earth
my ancestors by rivers would gaze up
to see same white clouds in that same blue sky
so I sense them awake in me this hour.

Though global empires of men rise and fall
in the complex turmoil of human history
we all see white clouds in that same blue sky
so we become one soul in timeless flow.

I forget my name, religion, and race,
and where I am now on our spinning globe
when I gaze up at white clouds in blue sky
to become eternal soul of the Earth.
