Clouds #1

Detail from El Greco’s “Laocoön” (1610–1614)

An eternity in a moment affords the chance to observe

the fleeting things

with the careful eye of a gazer.

A cloud, in nature’s wondrous way,

is a temple of an instant

which levitates and pulses, disassembles, and in fine felt-threads of vapor

stitches together the foam of roaring time.

They become forms which the human mind,

granted audience,

may see but once, and nevermore.
