The Cloudlands Poem by Phil J Hambling

The Cloudlands have come once more
To envelope the bay
And lift my heart
Grey wisp mountains stark
Against the bright horizon
Reaching down to the relenting sea
This ephemeral land of mine
Glamorous and inviting
As a chaise lounge
Spread out before the aching waters
Fluffy cities twisting and forming in my vision
To unfold the misted streets and
greet the winged figures that reside there
As I tread the feathered path
Up to the heights of the grey peaks
To stand and witness the whole vista
Arms outstretched
Tumbling
Back into this world
And The Cloudlands are no more
Once again
