I stroll upon a cloudy street
the sun hot on my head
it’s mushy under my bare feet
along this cotton bed
darker grays
brighter grays
shades of white
in the sun’s rays
blue chalk streaks
purple leaks
across the sky
pockets of brighter blue
the kind that make you smile
I step across the silver lining
and gaze below awhile
mountain peaks and river threads
look up to say hello
I wave to them from overhead
lakes smile from below
entwined
bright lines
all glowing in
the sunshine
sparkling vines
then combine
reflection
walk with me on Cloudy Street
the sun will warm your head
the air will cool your small bare feet
rest on this cotton bed
darker grays
brighter grays
shades of white
in the sun’s rays
blue chalk streaks
purple leaks
across the sky
