Cloud Art Poem by Murphy Payne

Sometimes I put myself up
On the highest mountain
Reach into the sky
And make cloud art for you

Figurines of humans and pets
That Lladro didn’t make but wished they had
Life size statues not from bronze
Maybe Rodin copied from

So many days
My work goes unnoticed
‘Cause you didn’t look up and see
Inspiration and Admiration for you - floating by

I inhale a deep breath
And gently let it out
To push my art thru time
For all the universe to witness
My love and devotion to you

And somewhere out in a distant land
A young couple in love
Playfully laying on a dandelion hill
Notice my art and claim it as theirs
With my blessings and zeal
