The Day I Slept Far Above The Clouds Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the belly of human achievement
I sat with my heart on my hands
I prayed nearer to God than before
I placed my fate on those fluffy clouds

My fellow human beings sat still
Clutching their faiths in their hands
And Slipping deep in meditation
A bottle of prayer was consumed
As they whispered to their God
They sat unmoved by the clouds
Comforted by the hand of love

Looking in their eyes
I saw the heart of humanity
Firmly connected to the love of God
I was comforted by the unsaid truth
The silence in their eyes
Was warm and full of love
Our destination connected
We sat together in faith
We closed our eyes in prayer
As sleep came uninvited
